Anderson Dies Frightened Children Run Home From Euclid Avenue M.E. Church and Notify Parents The two small children of D.P. Ingraham, 1725 Lincoln street, sat in a pew at the Euclid Avenue Methodist church at 9 o'clock yesterday morning and wondered why William H. Anderson, the janitor, was crying. Evelyn, 8 years old, and Dwight, 7 years old, exchanged glances and were half-way amused at seeing a man cry, until the man screamed and fell over. Then they ran out and found their father, who lives a half block from the church, and told him about the man who cried, then screamed and fell from his chair. When George T. Mattingly and Mr. Ingraham reached the church, they found Mr. Anderson, the janitor, dying. Before physicians arrived he was dead. Dr. A.F. Harrison and Dr. H. Milton Connor, the physicians who were summoned, pronounced his death due to heart trouble. He lived with his wife at 1600 West street, and had been janitor of the church for about two years. Mr. Anderson went to the church, Seventeenth and Lane streets, about 8 o'clock yesterday morning to open the church for the Sunday school and the morning services. Sunday school usually meets at 9:30 o'clock, but the two Ingraham children, anxious to be on time, went to the church at 9 o'clock. When they entered the building, they found Mr. Anderson sitting at one side of the room, massaging his breast. Mr. Mattingly, thinking something could be done to prolong Anderson's life, called for the pulmotor, which arrived and was used for about 15 minutes. But when the doctors came they told the firemen that there was no hope of reviving the man. Sunday School Dismissed The Rev. Edwin Locke, pastor of the church, did not hold services yesterday morning, owing to the incident. The service last night was conducted by the young people. Mrs. Anderson, the wife of Mr. Anderson, is not in good health and her husband's death was a severe shock. Mr. Anderson was an old soldier. He was a member of Company B, 137th Indiana volunteer infantry, during the war and formerly was a member of Lincoln post No. 1, G.A.R. He was 66 years old. He is survived by his wife, one daughter, Mrs. Bessie Onion of San Bernardino, Cal., and two sons, Carl Anderson of Topeka and W.D. Anderson of Deer Trail, Col. The funeral arrangements will be made when the children are heard from. Home in 1900: Topeka, Shawnee, Kansas William H Anderson Mary A Anderson 57 Bessie M Anderson 20
