Additional: New Knoxville, April 24—Lewis Henry Meckstroth, age 63, who operated the Meckstroth paint shop here, died of a cerebral hemorrhage at 6:45 o'clock Saturday evening at his home here. He had been ill only two hours. During the afternoon he had worked as usual and apparently was in good health until he was fatally stricken. Mr Meckstroth had operated a wagon-making and repair shop here until 1935. At that time he discontinued this business, seriously affected by the reduced use of wagons for farm work and opened his paint shop.
