Death of a Well Known Van Wert Resident at Columbus. Urban Uncapher a well known resident of Van Wert, died Wednesday night at Wilson & Rankin's private hospital in Columbus. Accompanied by Dr. Ward Wilson, deceased went to Columbus last Sunday morning to be operated upon, in the hopes that his health, which has been poor for the last few years, would be benefited thereby. The operation was performed Monday morning and the patient had considerably improved. On Wednesday uremic symptoms became apparent and death resulted that night. Deceased was 64 years of age. Ill health prevented him from taking care of his business interests and about a year ago was compelled to make an assignment. Worry over his troubles caused him to neglect his health. The remains were brought here to-day and taken to the home of his son Perry, on South Shannon street, with whom he made his home. Funeral services will be held at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon.
