Famous Fighting Commander Falls Dead After Meal
Major General Frederick Funston commander of the U S southern department died tonight in San Antonio after an acute indigestion attack at a hotel. He collapsed following dinner and died soon after with physicians citing angina of the heart. Funston, 51, had led U S forces on the Mexican border since 1916 and played a key role in the Philippines and Cuba. He had endured long, hard duties and remained at his desk through border crises and military reorganization. The report notes his earlier exploits, his rise from Kansas to national prominence, and details of his career in Cuba and Alaska, with funeral arrangements not yet set.
