STRICKEN WITH PARALYSIS 
An Aged Veteran of Oakville, Suffers Two Strokes. On Thursday afternoon, about 4
o'clock, Mr. Robert Mears, who is about 72 years old, and who is well known in
this place, went out in the yard to prepare his kindling for morning. After a
considerable length of time the folks thought it strange he did not return and
commenced investigation. They found him at the woodpile and it appears that be
just reached for a stick of wood when he received the first stroke. He was
carried into the house and after a time he revived and talked to those who
surrounded him and then was stricken a second time and has been unconscious ever
since. Everything in the way of medical treatment was done for the old gentleman
but to no avail. The attending physicians say be cannot recover. Mr. Mears is an
old veteran, having served in the Civil War, and is well known throughout the
county.
