George M Pullman Dies of Angina in Chicago
George M Pullman, inventor of the sleeping car and president of the Pullman Palace Car Co, died suddenly in Chicago at about 5 yesterday morning from angina pectoris. He had shown friends some debility after heat and exertion and instructed his servant to summon medical help as he grew worse. Born in 1831 in Chautauqua County New York, he rose from cabinet making to civil engineering and built Castle Rest for his mother. His Pullman Company, with a $4.5 million capital, employed about 15,000 workers and produced rail cars. His death ends a career marked by innovative transport and a lengthy strike controversy.
