Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memorial Addresses on the Life and Character of John R. Gamble (a Representative From South Dakota): Delivered in the House of Representatives and in the Senate, Fifty-Second Congress John Rankin Gamble died in Yankton, S. Dak., Friday, August 14, 1891, aged 43 years 7 months and 13 days. "John Gamble is dead." These words greeted the early risers Friday morning and were told at many bedsides in the early day. John R. Gamble dead? There must be some mistake. He can not be dead. We can not realize it: and yet he is gone, and this city, the State and the West, have lost a good citizen, a loyal champion, and a grand representative. Mr. Gamble had been a sufferer with a heart trouble for many years. Indefatigable, as he seemed, and as industrious and persistent as he was, there was a limit to his strength, and he reached it. Thursday he complained of an indisposition, and at 6 o´clock last night Dr. Turkopp, the family physician, was summoned. He left some medicine and called again at 9 o´clock. Mr. Gamble seemed to be feeling better then; but at 12 o´clock the heart trouble, of which the mild illness of the day was a symptom, attacked him, and Dr. Turkopp found him very weak and very much wearied when he reached the bedside. His brothers, Hugh and Robert, were with him until late last evening, but they had not the remotest idea that he would not be well on the way to recovery to-day. John rallied from the attack and rested easily until about 3 a.m., Dr. Turkopp and Mrs. Gamble remaining with him.
