The Washington Republican Washington County Friday April 3, 1896 Grandpa DOUGLAS, living several miles south of town, is reported to have dropped dead of heart failure yesterday afternoon, a few minutes after eating dinner. He was eighty three years old and was as nice a man as Washington county can boat of ever having had live in its borders. Only a few weeks ago Mr. DOUGLAS called on the Chief, paid a dollar in adavance, remarking at the time it was the only paper he could afford to take but that he read it all to pieces. He is the kind of a man who leaves the world better for having lived in it.--Barnes Chief.
