Ex-Mayor John N. Hinkle, whose serious illness was exclusively an nounced in The Dispatch several weeks ago, died at his home at 1098 | Highland street, at 7:30 o'clock Tues day evening. Heart disease was the cause of his death. He had been ill for months, but the end was unexpect ed, since he was up and about, and frequently went out. For a week past he .had been con fined to his bed, but Tuesday his brother, Michael, of Delaware county, came with his family and some friends to call upon him. They spent the day at the Hinkle home and Mr. Hinkle seemed to en joy their presence. Tuesday night he ate a hearty supper an hour before he died. Afterward, he laughed and talked with his wife and daughter and finally dropped into what seemed a peaceful sleep. DIED AS HE SLEPT. Prom this he never aroused. When their attention was called to his stir ring slightly in the bed and they went to him he had passed away without a murmur of suffering, when Dr. W. J. Means reached his side he was dead. His illness, really began more than a year ago when he went east on a business trip and contracted a severe cold which later developed into pneu monia. From this, his heart trouble, from which -he had long suffered,! be came chronic, and a dropsical affec tion developed. From that time forward, he was never a well man. Gradually his ail ments increased in severity until on several occasions his life was despair ed of. but he always rallied. He was ever hopeful and looked upon the brighter "side. Usually once or twice a week he drove down town. Within the past 10 days he did this, I meeting his friends with the old-time jovial manner and the same hopeful expression. Mr. Hinkle was a self-made man. He was born in Delaware county in June, 1854, a farmer's boy. In No vember, 1871, he' was married to Miss Samantha Kirkland, who survives him. Later they went west, locating in JOHN N. HINKLE, Kansas, where they lived a number of y6ars.
