- Capt. Harry Grant's Body Found by Mates
HEART FAILURE CAUSE
Heart failure caused the death of Captain Harry E. Grant of the fire department, who was found dead in his bed at Hose House No. 3 yesterday morning. He is believed to have been dead for three or four hours when his death was discovered at about 8:15 o'clock. Captain Grant retired on Wednesday night after complaining of not feeling well. He did not rise at 6 o'clock, as he was accustomed, but his companions, believing he was indisposed, failed to try to arouse him. When an attempt was made to awaken him at 8 o'clock, his death was discovered. Dr. S. H. Haines, who was called to the scene, said he had been dead some time. Captain Grant had evidently passed away peacefully. The remains were removed to Koch's mortuary after being viewed by Coroner H. C. Heffner, who pronounced death due to natural causes. Captain Grant leaves his wife and three children, Violet, Charles, and Florence; a brother, Eugene Grant of New Orleans, La.; and a sister, Mrs. John Quinn of Bradford. He was born in Warren, Pa., 49 years ago. He had lived in Bradford at 31 Kingsbury Avenue for a number of years. He had been captain of No. 3 Company since 1910, before which he had served with the Citizen's Hose Company.
