Aged Man Drops Dead In Street
Thomas Armstrong Steps upon curbing and fall
over.
Death came suddenly to Thomas Armstrong, 65 years
old, a former federal soldier, Monday. Armstrong had
just steeped upon the curb of the sidewalk in front
of 127 West Reno avenue, when he dropped to the
ground. He was carried into the residence of Charles
Stover, 127 West Reno avenue, where he expired a few
minutes afterward and before medical aid could be
summoned.
The remain are being held at Marshall & Harper's
undertaking parlor for funeral arrangements. The man
was little known here. He carried letters from S. M.
Maley of Enid and other letters which identified him
as being Thomas Armstrong.
An autopsy will be held Tuesday by the coroner's
jury to determine the cause of his death. It is said
that he suffered with dropsy and that his death
might have been caused by that disease and heart
trouble. So far as could be ascertained Monday
night by the police the dead man had no near
relatives in Oklahoma.

Armstrong Falls Dead on Street
An autopsy by the corners' jury over the body of
Thomas Armstrong, 65 years old, who dropped dead
upon the curb of the sidewalk at 127 West Reno
avenue Monday afternoon, was held in Justice Zwick's
court at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. The physicians
who called at the residence of Charles Stover, where
he was carried after his death pronounced it to be a
case of apoplexy and the remains were taken to the
Marshall-Harper undertaking parlors. A cousin of the
dead man, J. E. Mayberry of Enid, is coming to
arrange for the funeral. Armstrong is survived by a
widow and daughter living somewhere in Arkansas.
