Madill, Henry

Henry Madill died from blood poisoning this morning about 4 o'clock at the City restaurant, on Howard street, opposite the Griffith marble yards. His left hand began swelling a week ago while working in the mines at Carterville Missouri. He thought the mineral water had poisoned it, and drove to Carthage at once for treatment, but had the hand quite badly frost bitten on the way over. The hand and arm swelled and grew steadily worse till the end. Mr. Madill was unconscious the last few days. The body was taken to the Knells-Spencer undertaking rooms this morning and arrangements for the funeral are yet to be made. The deceased formerly lived south of Carthage and seems to have no relatives here now except his son George Madill, about 18 or 20 years of age. Mr. Madill was probably 50 years old. Note oddity that the article says he was unconscious the last few days and it also says he died at the City restaurant.
