Montgomery Standard, Montgomery County, Missouri, 11 February 1921

Ben Bishop Drops Dead.  Ben Bishop, son of John Bishop of Montgomery, was in
Standhardt's feed store Wednesday morning about 9 o'clock.  After transacting
his business he started out, but before reaching the door collapsed, and he 
was caught by those present and eased to the floor, where he soon expired.  
Dr. Tinsley was called and reached him about the time he drew his last breath.
	The cause of death was neuralgia of the heart.  Mr Bishop had been a
resident of Montgomery many years, and since the death of his wife had made his
home with his son, John, who lives on the old Mat Johnson farm.  He leaves 
three brothers and one sister, and four daughters and one son.  His daughters
live in St Louis.  The funeral will be this (Friday) afternoon, and burial
will be in the city cemetery.
