In a Critical Condition.
Rufus Patnam Drown, one of the oldest men in this section of the country, is said to be lying at the home of his sister-in-law, Mrs. Lindsey Smith, near Prichard, in a very critical condition, as the result of heart trouble from which he has been suffering for some time.
Mr. Drown has resided in Cabell county, W. Va., a few miles south of Huntington, for probably more than fifty years when his wife died and he then made his home with some of his children. Some time ago he went to visit Mrs. Smith and became violently ill and has remained there since. His recovery is thought to be a matter of very grave doubt, as his advanced age is greatly against him.
He had several brothers who were well known along the Ohio river, being engaged in the steamboat business. One of his brothers is now president of the Mississippi River Pilots' association, with his headquarters at St. Louis.—Catlettsburg Tribune.
