May 26, 1890 Middletown Signal,
Middletown, Ohio
Death of James Gordon
James Gordon, until recently, a member of the police force of this city
died suddenly while on the Third street bridge, Saturday night. For some
time he has been affected with heart trouble. Saturday evening he, as
usual, went out for a walk. He was sitting on the curbstone near the
bridge when he became faint. Those near him helped him to arise, and
procuring a chair he was seated thereon and Dr. Smith called. After
giving him attention it was thought that he would be able to be removed
home after a short time. He thus remained there, with an attendant;
fanning him. His breathing was very difficult, and all at once, with a
gasp, he fell back dead. He was then removed to his home, where, in the
midst of a sorrowing family of eleven children, the body was prepared for
burial.
Mr. Gordon was 44 years old, was well known here, where he has lived for
a quarter of a century.
His Funeral will take place from the M. P. church tomorrow afternoon at
2 o’clock.
