Obituary for Andrew York

from The Republican (Danville, Indiana)--issue of Thursday, May 30, 1946--page 1, column 6

Body of Aged Man Found At Stilesville

The body of Andrew York, age 84, was found at his home in Stilesville, Monday, by his sister, Mrs. Roxie Kelley, who became suspicious when she had not seen him since Saturday.

Mrs. Kelley found the doors and windows locked and called a neighbor, Florence Bailey, who used a key to enter the house. They found the rooms in general disarray and the body of Mr. York lying on the floor of the front room.

Mrs. Kelley told Coroner F.N. Wright, who investigated, that her brother had complained of a severe pain in his chest for several days. Dr. Wright attributed death to coronary occlusion and established death as sometime Saturday night.
