While indexing Public Press, New Albany, Indiana Newspaper, I came across
this obit and thought: someone is looking for this person. I was so curious
that I checked the death records to see if they ever found his name.
Public Press 24 Jan 1911 p 5 c
An unknown man who was stricken by apoplexy about three weeks ago at the
power plant of the United Gas and Electric Company on Water Street, died
last Thursday night at St. Edwards Hospital. The body was removed to Lottich
Brothers undertaking establishment and if not identified will be buried by
the county. The man had sought shelter from the weather at the power plant
when he was stricken. His name ws not found by the employees and after his
removal to the hospital he did not recover consciousness, but in his
rambling talk he mentioned the name of James Price and also spoke of
Pittsburgh. He was poorly clad and had the appearance of a tramp. He was
about forty years andd, weighed about 140 pounds and had dark hair and blue
eyes.
