FARMER DIES IN STORE - VICTIM OF HEART DISEASE SUNDAY
"Wealthy Putnam County Man, on Visit to Indianapolis Meets Sudden End, and Coroner Finds Wife After Search"
11 May 1910 Indianapolis Star
Nathan W. Adler, a wealthy farmer living near Bainbridge, Ind., dropped dead in the restroom on the fifth floor of the New York Store shortly after 9 o'clock yesterday morning. Mr. Adler had gone to the store on a shopping tour, and it is thought, had gone to the restroom to read a newspaper. Death was caused by heart failure. Adler and his wife, Mrs. Mattie Adler, came to Indianapolis Monday afternoon in their automobile to visit Mrs. Harry Dempsey, 2914 Paris avenue, a niece of Mrs. Adler's. They had intended to return to Bainbridge yesterday afternoon. About 8 o'clock yesterday morning, Mr. Adler left the house, saying that he was going to run down town, and do some shopping, and that he would be back by 11 o'clock. He left his automobile standing in front of the New York store. He made no purchases. It is thought he purchased a paper and went directly to the restroom, when he entered the building. "Mrs. Adler Notified" Mrs. Adler did not learn of her husband's death until 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The body was taken to Renihan & Blackwell's morgue, 128 West Ohio street. The man's name and address were found on a check on a keyring and Coroner John J. Blackwell began a search for his relatives. By telephoning to Bainbridge he learned that Mrs. Adler was in the city, and that she was suppose to be vsiting her niece, Mrs. Harry Dempsey. Mr. Blackwell located the Dempsey home about 3 o'clock and he asked Mrs. Dempsey to tell Mrs. Adler of her husband's death. Adler was a brother of former representative Frank Adler, now a resident of Chicago. He was one of the wealthiest farmers in Putnam County and his country home, "Fountain Place," located about three miles southeast of Bainbridge, is counted one of the county's most delightful homes.

GEORGE FRANKLIN ALLEY
George Franklin Alley, son of Phillip and Maryetta Alley, was born Sept. 17, 1875; died Oct. 24, 1926. Just as the leaves began to fall in the autumn time of his life his soul took its flight to the great beyond to be with the God who gave it, and today we mourn not as those who have no hope, for we know that his crippled, pain-racked body is at rest and his soul is basking in the sunlight of that happy land, clothed immortal; he has gained that home that he has long looked forward to, telling his loved ones that he would not be with them much longer for them to care for or worry with, although they did not consider him a care and were glad to do anything for his comfort. They were ever ready and willing to do all within their power for him; all was done that loving hands could do but nothing could stay the hand of death, God saw fit to take him from this world of suffering; he was ever giving his time and talent in the service of his King.
Oft times before he became an invalid he would go many miles to a religious service and when health would permit never missed a service in his church that he loved so well. He could quote the Bible from Generations to Revelations and was always teaching his little nephew Eugene the Bible, and today he can tell many things that older people never learned. Eugene was a great comfort to him in the latter years of his life, as was also Beryl, his niece; they have always lived in the home with him, ever ready to do all they could for their Uncle Frank. He will be greatly missed by them. His nephew, Vernon Moore, has been in the home the past summer oft times, taking him on pleasure trips and to church as long as health would permit. He spoke of being well cared for on Sunday before he died, telling his sister not to worry about him; he had all anyone could ask for. His suffering was all that wearied him. His death came as a shock to his friends and loved ones, although he had told them many times he had no fear of death, that he was ready when the Master called, but would like to live and be with them. He loved his home and was best satisfied when there. He was anxious to vote in the coming election, saying he would have to vote an absent ballot this year. He was interested in politics when in health, and anything that was for the betterment of his country.
He leaves two brothers, Ellis, with whom he lived and Abb, of near Greencastle; one sister, Mrs. Stella Moore, of Mooresville; five nephews, five nieces, many other relatives and friends to mourn their loss.

MARIETTA (STURGEON) ALLEY
Marietta (Sturgeon) Alley, daughter of Thomas and Nellie Sturgeon was born in Morgan County, Indiana, February 2, 1850 and departed this life at her home in Ashland township February 28, 1922, at the age of 72 years and 26 days.
She was united in marriage to Phillip H. Alley, December 18, 1874. To this union were born eight children; five sons, George Franklin, William, Walter, Avington, and Ellis and three daughters, Hannah, Stella, and Rosa. William, Hanna, Walter, Rosa and the husband have preceded her in death and many times during the latter part of her sickness she seemed to see them and hear them calling and said they were beckoning her home to glory and she expressed a desire to go. Last Friday she told her children that she was willing, ready, and even anxious to go. Told them she promised their father when he was dying to meet him and she had lived faithful to that promise. She fully realized it was yet but a few days until she, too, should be called to join the innumerable caravan and so completely turned her life and thoughts to God that when the summons should come she could go as one lying down to peaceful, pleasant slumber. She united with the Baptist church at Corinth about 27 years ago, under the labors of Rev. James Holmes. She lived all her life, except nine years which were spent in Iowa, in this community. She was a loving mother and a kind friend and was always pleased to have her children, friends, and neighbors come to see her. She had been afflicted with that dreadful disease, cancer for the last fourteen years and although suffering intensely and at times agonizingly for the last two years, she bore her sufferings with Christian fortitude. She had been confined to her bed for the past two weeks.
Besides her children Avington, Ellis, Mrs. Stella Moore and Frank, who is an invalid, eight grandchildren and four sisters, Mrs. Harriet Anders, Mrs. America Dartin, Mrs. Jency Trusty and Mrs. Lucinda Richard, she leaves a great number of relatives and friends to mourn her departure.
