Death of W.A. Crane

Sudden Death of a Well Known Oshkosh Young Man

Last evening at about seven o'clock occurred the death of
William A. Crane.  It was a very sudden one, for up to last
Saturday night the deceased had enjoyed good health.  He was
out in the terrible storm that visited this city that
evening, and caught a severe cold which subsequently
developed into inflammatory rheumatism.  This attack,
however, was not considered serious by his friends.  Last
evening he was taken with convulsions and death ensured.
Mr. Crane was thirty-one years of age, and was well know in
Oshkosh, having formerly resided here.  For some years past,
however, he has been at Gagen in the employ of his father,
A.B. Carne and his uncle, T.E. Crane.  The latter have been
running a store and saw mill at that place.  The deceased
was in charge of the store.  Some weeks ago it was announced
that Crane Brothers were moving their plant to Tomahawk and
while awaiting this change Mr. Crane was visiting friends in
this city.  Besides his parents, one brother- E.M. Carne and
a sister, Miss Fannie Crane are to mourn his death.
