Birth: 1875 Death: May 3, 1941 Fulton County Indiana, USA Published in the Rochester(IN) News-Sentinel, Monday, May 5, 1941 William C. RANS, aged 67, prominent farmer of Wayne township who resided a mile east of Grass Creek, was found dead in the barnyard of his home late Saturday morning. Dr. Dean STINSON, Fulton county coroner, was called and after his inquest held that Mr. Rans had died from a coronary embolism. Mr. Rans, who lived alone had hitched his horse to the buggy and was preparing to drive to Grass Creek with several baskets full of eggs when he was stricken. Mr. Rans fell in front of his horse who evidently sensing something was wrong with his master stood by and did not attempt to pull the buggy over the prostrate form of his owner. The body was first seen by a passing motorist, Ira KALEY of Logansport. He went to Rans' neighbor, Otto APPLEGATE, and told him about having noticed a man lying in the Rans driveway in front of a horse. Applegate, his son-in-law, Martin BRUMBAUGH, who is teacher in the Grass Creek schools, and Kaley went to the Rans farm where they found Mr. Rans had succumbed. Mr. Rans, born in Grass Creek, was a lifelong resident of that community. His only immediate survivor is a nephew, Harry CREERY, Logansport. Funeral services were held at 3 o'clock Monday at the United Brethren church at Grass Creek. Burial was in the Grass Creek cemetery.
