Death Occurred at Kalamazoo This Afternoon
Dispatches received here from Kalamazoo announce the death of John Pruyn, a former resident of this vicinity, which occurred at the asylum in that city at 12:30 o'clock today.
Mr. Pruyn was taken to the asylum for treatment about 18 months ago, his mind having been affected, it is stated, by the failure of the First National Bank of Niles.
The deceased was 51 years old and was widely acquainted here. He was much interested in fruit culture.
The remains will probably be brought here tonight for burial.
