Sudden Death of Theodore Coss

Theodore Coss, a highly respected Citizen of Martins Ferry, died suddenly last evening at his home in that City. He had been ill since last Sunday with pneumonia, but yesterday afternoon was apparently resting very comfortably and on his way to recovery, and talked with members of the Family and with friends who called. He was left alone for a short time and his Son came home about five O`clock and when in to see his father he found him dead. It is thought heart failure, resulting from the disease, was the cause.

Deceased had been a long resident of Martins Ferry and had a large circle of friends. He was a Soldier in the Civil War, was several times wounded, and was prisoner at Andersonville. He was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, and his funeral on Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock will be in charge of that organization. Deceased was 55 years of age. He leaves a wife and several Children to mourn his loss.
