Obituary
"The Shelby Democrat," (Shelbyville, Shelby Co., IN) July 1, 1907 (page 1) DIED SUDDENLY WHILE RIDING WITH HIS WIFE
William Ensminger, Of This City,
The Victim of Fatal Attack of Heart Disease Yesterday Afternoon
"William Ensminger, a well known resident of this city, died suddenly about three o'clock Sunday afternoon while he and his wife were driving a short distance south of the city. His death was the result of heart trouble from which he had been suffering for some time."
"Sunday morning Mr. Ensminger was apparently in his usual health and he and his wife attended services at the West street M. E. church. At dinner he was his usual self and there was no indication of the death which was to come in a few short hours."
"At about two o'clock he hitched up the family horse to the surrey and he and his wife started for Waldron to visit relatives. When only a short distance from the city, Mr. Ensminger, who previous to this time had been talkative and in the best of spirits, complained that he felt an attack of heart trouble coming on. Saying that he was feeling very dizzy he leaned his head against his wife's shoulder. Familiar with these spells, Mrs. Ensminger turned the horse about and started back towards Shelbyville. Then Mr. Ensminger murmured something about having a sinking spell of the heart and his head fell into the arms of his wife."
"She wiped the perspiration from his brow and allowed his head to remain in her arms, thinking that he had assumed that position in order to rest more easily."
"When the home of Charles Culbertson was reached, Mrs. Ensminger turned the horse into the driveway, as the weight of Mr. Ensminger's body was beginning to fatigue her. The she discovered that he was dead and her cries brought out the members of the Culbertson family. The body was removed from the vehicle and later was brought to this city in the Tindall ambulance. Mrs. Ensminger was almost prostrated with grief and was inconsolable."
"William Ensminger formerly resided in Rush county, but later removed to Sugar Creek township. He was an eminently successful farmer. Several years ago he retired from active farming and moved to this city. He resided at the corner of West and Taylor streets. He was fifty-eight years of age and is survived by a widow, two brothers, St. Clair and Andrew J. Ensminger, of this city, and a number of other relatives in this county."
"The funeral services will be held at the West street church tomorrow afternoon at two o'clock, the Rev. G. Jensen officiating. Interment will take place in Forest Hill cemetery. M. G. Tindall is in charge of the funeral arrangements. The casket will be open from seven to nine this evening and from nine to one forty-five tomorrow in order to give all friends and the Red Men's lodge, of which he was a member, a chance to view the remains. The funeral will be under the auspices of the Kiowa Tribe 199, I. O. R. M."
