Man Died in Chair

Adam Eyster, of near Wolf’s church, died suddenly March 9, at 7:50 p.m., from a 
stroke of apoplexy, while sitting in a chair at his home.  It was the second 
stroke he had sustained during the day.  Between noon and 1 o’clock he had gone 
to the home of George Strausbaugh, miller, to purchase chop and eggs.  He had 
completed the purchase of the chop and then went to the kitchen of the 
Strausbaugh home to get the eggs.  While there he was suddenly stricken and fell 
to the floor.  He was unconscious for about 15 minutes.  On reviving he was 
removed in a team to his home by Mr. Strausbaugh.  Feeling better toward evening 
Mr. Eyster came down stairs.  He had not been long in the kitchen when he was 
again stricken, living only a short time after the second stroke.  He was about 
70 years old.  One sister, Mrs. William Butt, East Berlin, survives him.
