Death of Hon. D. P. Stubbs After Dinner Nap
The obituary notes Hon. Daniel Parham Stubbs died at about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon after a routine nap. He was active in his office in the morning and ate heartily at dinner, then walked in his garden. He reportedly closed his library doors at two, ending his life with no warning. The piece recalls his political shifts from Republican to Horace Greeley supporter in 1872, his 1878 Independent Greenback gubernatorial bid with 35,000 votes, and later congress candidacy with Greenback backing in 1880.
