Tabor Beacon Friday 16 July 1897

PROUTY, A. S.

Members of the G.A.R. will act as pallbearers and a guard of honor at the funeral of Mr Prouty on Friday afternoon. Mr. Prouty fell from a load of hay and died shortly thereafter, last Saturday afternoon. On account of his children being so far away, it was thought best to embalm the body in order to preserve it, until they could get here. This was done that same evening and the members of the family were immediately notified of the accident by telegram. Their daughter, Mrs. Mabel Landis arrived from Oklahoma Monday morning; their oldest son Charles arrived from Mass. Monday evening, and Edward is expected to arrive from Calif. today (Thurs). The funeral will be held tomorrow (Friday) 16 Jul 1897 at the house at 2 p.m. and in the Congregational Church at 2:30. Mr. Prouty has been a resident of Tabor for about 15 years and was one of the most prominent citizens here. He was actively connected with the T and N RR from its inception to the time of his death, and was and had been for a number of years its general superintendent. He was 67 years of age, but very robust, and would go onto the road and do a days work with the best of them. For two years he served the town faithfully and well as mayor.
