DEATH OF JOHN SYDNEY POST.
At an early hour this morning John Sydney Post, age 75, died here of erysipelas. He was a brother to the Dr. Post, who a few years ago built and operated a bath house at the corner of Wichita and Reynolds streets, south of Clark’s Pharmacy, and later moved to San Antonio.
A brother of the deceased, H.S. Post, was here with him. Beetham & Son prepared the body for burial and shipped it this afternoon to Haskell for interment.
