Died:
As recorded in the journal called "Texas Girlhood," written by Mary Ann "Nona" Stricker, his granddaughter, "When Papa was but nine years old, his father, an itinerant German baker, had drunk a glass of cold water one summer afternoon, lain down to rest, and died, as we children were told, because the ice water froze the marrow around his heart. We were never clear as to the exact nature of the anatomical area involved, but it was a long time before I could drink a glass of ice water and then lie down without misgivings s to the certainty of my subsequent arising."
