VAN OSDALE.
Benjamin Van Osdale, sixty-four years old and a resident of Fort Wayne for the last eighteen years, was found dead in a room over a barn in the rear of 1738 Lafayette street about 7:00 a.m. Monday. The discovery was made by Charles Miller, a lad of fifteen years and a grandson of the dead man.
Death occurred after 5 o'clock this morning as he was seen at that hour feeding his horse and was probably due to heart trouble superinduced by a congested condition of the lung from which he had been suffering for several weeks. Dr. J. B. McEvay had been prescribing for him two or three months and Van Osdale called at this office Sunday and was in such a serious condition that he could not speak for a few minutes after he had climbed the stairway to the physician's office.
Sunday afternoon he called at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Laura Miller, 1038 Grant avenue, and asked his grandson to come down this morning and help him care for his horse and do some other work. When the lad arrived he called his grandfather several times and receiving no answer went to the head of the stairway leading to the room in which Van Osdale lived alone. He was afraid to approach the bed upon which the dead body lay and gave an alarm and a physician was called.
Van Osdale was formerly a resident of Monroeville and lost one of his hands in a thresher before he moved to Fort Wayne. He has a family, but had not made his home with his wife and children for four or five years. Surviving him are the widow, three sons—George Van Osdale, who is a farmer residing near Robison park; William, living at 2336 Smith street, and employed as an engineer on the Pennsylvania; Merit, who lives at the same address and who is a brakeman on the Pennsylvania, and three daughters—Mrs. William Cowell, of 2020 John street; Mrs. Charles Cowell, of Gay street, and Mrs. Miller. He was an expressman by occupation.
After Coroner Stults had been called to vieww the remains the body was removed to the Bloom undertaking rooms to be prepared for burial.
