"Mrs. Elmore Winn, who lives near Horse Cave, in Hart County, about 
twelve miles north of Glasgow, met with a very sad misfortune last 
Sunday morning in the unexpected and brief but fatal ilness of a nearly 
grown son. Clem, the son alluded to was at the fair here Friday, 
complained of feeling unwell during the day but not seriously. He left 
town about sundown, and on the way home was suddenly attacked with severe 
pains in his breast, so much so that a gentleman with him insisted and 
finally pursuaded to take a small drink of brandy which temporarily 
relieved him. On reaching home he was complaining so much that he was 
given an opiate and put to bed. In the night a brother who was in bed 
with him discovered his alarming condition and reported at once to the 
family. A physician was called, but the sufferer was beyond the reach 
of remedy and lived only a few hours, dying early Saturday apparantely 
of some affliction of the lungs. He was buried on Sunday a few miles 
below town at the family burying ground."
