Crawfordsville Review Mon May 22, 1916 p 1 -- (Called to bedside of dying partner) -- John Shular passed through Crawfordsville Sunday afternoon on his way to Indianapolis where he was called to the beside of John Bidcell. Mr. Birdcell was reported as dying in the hospital where he had been hurried to have an operation performed. After arriving at the institution it was found that his condition was such that an operation was impossible. Since the time Mr. Birdcell's condition has been growing gradually worse and it was thought yesterday that the end was near.
