Since I've last worked on this family, I've discovered that the Lenox papers in the museum were not indexed on the Taylor County Rootsweb site. I found the following in a Dec??, 1911 Lenox Times Table paper. The paper on the microfilm was in bad shape, partially missing. I checked the next couple of weeks for any further info, but found nothing.
SUDDEN DEATH OF R. D. HURLEY
When the news spread, Monday morning, that R. D. Hurley was dead, the people of Lenox were surprised and shocked. It seems that Mr. Hurley had complained of not feeling well during Sunday, but had eaten his meals as usual and had come down town for in the morning for his mail. He retired as usual that night and slept until near 1 o'clock when he awoke and inquired of his wife what o'clock it was. Mrs. Hurley arose, lighted a lamp to see the time and found Mr. Hurley, as she supposed in a dead feint when she returned. She at once called for help and phoned for a physician. All efforts to arouse the unconscious man were futile, he having expired in a moment of time. The cause of death was pronounced apoplexy. Mr. Hurley had made his home in Lenox for many years where he earned the reputation of being an honest, quiet, kindly disposed man - a model citizen. He was about 63 years of age.
apoplexy - old term for stroke.
