Aug. 26, 1911: Dropped Dead on Lincoln Street: Joseph Richard Taken with Hemorrhage and Suddenly Expires

Bleeding from mouth and nose while on his way to obtain relief from a physician, Joseph Richard, 35 years of age, fell dead on the sidewalk in front of F.A. Wheeler's drug store, 347 Lincoln St., Friday afternoon at 1:35. Death was caused by hemorrhage of the lungs. The body remained unidentified at the undertaker warerooms of E.F. Brown, until early this Saturday morning, when A. Mercier, 26 Cedar St., Cambridge, solved a problem that bade fair to be of the most puzzling nature.
