GEORGE BEARD JR.
George Beard Dead Victim of Baseball Game Passed Away Last Night
The unfortunate baseball accident by which Manager George Beard of the Union store suffered on Thursday afternoon at Dolgeville, during the Presbyterian Sunday school picnic held at High Falls park in that village, has resulted for the worst. Mr. Beard is dead. No fatal issue was looked for during the first hours following the sad occurrence, but the fear of peritonitis expressed by Dr. Garlock after his examination proved only too well founded. The first symptoms developed yesterday noon and as the patient's left side began to fill he grew rapidly worse. It was evident there was only one resource left which gave a hope of recovery and that a slight one. Operation must be the last expedient and at 6 last evening it was resorted to by a council of physicians including Dr. Kilbourne of Utica and Drs. Garlock and Ingham of this city. They found the left kidney almost destroyed, the omentium torn and lacerated, and bleeding into the peritoneal cavity. The laceration resulted of course from the two ribs broken by the impact of the base runner. The removal of the kidney was essential and was therefore proceeded with. Unable to withstand the shock in his weakened condition, the patient never rallied and death followed the completion of the operation by about an hour. During his connection with the Union store and previously Mr. Beard's frank, open personality, unfailing cheeriness and obliging spirit ingratiated him with large classes of the trading and purchasing public, as well as more intimate friends, among whom his absence creates a gap that will be long felt and ever regretted. A widow and one little child survive to mourn a kind loving husband and parent. Mr. Beards' age was 33 years and 4 months. The Rev. C. S. Richardson will conduct funeral services 2:15 tomorrow afternoon at the residence, 604 Garden street, and 2:30 at the Presbyterian church. On Monday at 10:12 a.m. the remains will be forwarded to Truxton, Cortland county, where all that is mortal of a worthy, upright citizen will be consigned to dust.
