Prutsman - David
Source: Crawfordsville Daily Journal Tuesday, 27 June 1893
On June 20 David Prutsman, of Hoopeston, Ill., and Mrs. Nancy Hall, of Ladoga, put in an appearance at Clerk Spark’s office and took out a marriage license. Mrs. Hall, formerly Mrs. Mills, is well known here having been at the head of the Mills House in Ladoga for years. She became acquainted with Mr. Prutsman, a man of considerable property, some time since and the acquaintance blossomed into a courtship, the fruitage of which was the marriage. The happy couple went on to Hoopeston at once and nothing more was heard of them until yesterday when Mrs. Prutsman reappeared at Ladoga attired in widow’s weeds. She reported her husband as dead and buried. They had hardly enjoyed two days of married bliss when the happy groom dropped from his chair dead, having been attacked with heart disease. After the funeral Mrs. Prutsman returned to Ladoga and will doubtless begin the hotel business again. - sad one from "s"
