THE BLOOMFIELD NEWS, Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana, Saturday, March 3, 1877,Volume 1,
Number 10, Page 3, Column 2. [Transcribed December 16, 2004 from the original newspaper on
file in the Office of the Recorder of Greene County, Court House, Bloomfield, IN]
The death of William K. ROUTT, which occurred last Tuesday, overcast this community with
gloom. His death at any time during the past few years would not have been a surprise, as
he has been sorely afflicted. He has several times been at death’s door and given up to
die by his physicians and family, yet miraculously rallied; at last, however, his
suffering became so intense that he could not withstand the disease and is no more. He
leaves a large family and circle of friends who mourn his loss. A large concourse of
people attended his funeral which was conducted by the Masonic fraternity.
