Emerson, 72, Apparently Dead Since Tuesday Night A. L. Emerson, 72, well known farmer who lived two miles southeast of Glasgow, was found dead at his home this morning by two neighbors, who noticed that his stock appeared to be in need of water. Death apparently was from natural causes and took place sometime Tuesday night, Coroner J. S. Gaumer said following a hearing at the Emerson house this morning. Mr. Emerson lived alone , his wife having been dead for about 10 years. Funeral services will be held at 7:00 this evening at grave in Lambert cemetery. The Hoskins Funeral directors will be in charge. Mr. Emerson occupied an 80 acre farm a mile east of Glasgow, which he owned. The place is the first house south of the Round Prairie Baptist church. He was last seen alive when he and Harold Cline, a neighbor, went to Hillsboro on Tuesday morning on business for the Vega or Round Prairie No. 1 school. Mr. Emerson was president of the school board. The two men returned home about 11:00 a. m., Tuesday. No one saw Mr. Emerson alive after that time, according to information gathered ths morning by the Coroner. About 7:00 a. m. today, J. W. Church, a neighbor went to the Emerson farm. Mr. Emerson did not answer a shout, and the stock appeared to be in need of water. Mr. Church went to the home of another neighbor , E. B. Litton and the two entered the Emerson residence. They found the body in a bed in an upstairs room, next to the north window. Mr. Emerson evidently had retired, and death took him in the night. No one could be found who knew of any illness from which Mr. Emerson suffered, the Coroner reported. Wednesday and Thursday mail was in the Emerson mail box and a billfold containing $164. was found in plain view in the room. There will be no inquest, other than the hearing conducted this morning, Dr. Gaumer stated. Sheriff Fred R. McIntire assisted in the hearing. Alonzo L. Emerson was born July 24, 1864. His wife preceded him in death, and he is survived by three children: George of Casper, Wyoming, Mrs. Anna McCabe of Mt. Pleasant and Mrs. Hattie Howell of Salem. Also surviving are two sisters, Mrs. Finnis Metz of Fairfield and Mrs. Frank Masden of northeast of Fairfield. Mr. Emerson had been a resident of the neighborhood southeast of Glasgow his entire life. Find A Grave contributor Jan Fretheim
