Obituary: Leader Telegram (Eau Claire, WI), Tuesday, 3 September 1907: The dead body of Larry Petrie was found Sunday morning at the foot of Randall street, near the Omaha tracks along Half Moon Lake. The deceased was a relative of George W. Lufkin, and was employed at his farm supervising the girls who work in Lufkin's extensive gardens in the town of Brunswick. Saturday evening he came to the city in company with a number of the girls. To all appearances Mr. Petrie was feeling well, and was in excellent spirits. When it was learned that he had not returned home, no anxiety was experienced, as Mr. Lufkin thought he was up in the Ninth ward looking after the employment of some girls needed at this time to pick the tomato crop. It is thought that he started on his way home, down the Omaha spur track, that runs along the margin of Half Moon Lake, and was taken with a sudden fainting spell, and going a short distance from the track, laid down to rest, and recover. In this position he was found next morning, dead. There were no marks of violence about the body, or anything that would indicate that he had met in any way with foul play. Death came peacefully, most presumably from heart disease. For several months, Mr. Petrie had been troubled in this way. Doctors had told him that his faintness was due to heart failure. The body was found about 6:30 a.m. Sunday. Sheriff McMillan and Under Sheriff Dauffenbach were notified, also Coroner Robert Stokes. A search of the man's clothes revealed his identity. The sum of $9.18 and a watch were found in the pockets, undisturbed. A five dollar goldpiece, three nickels and a penny, were in a pocket-book in his coat; and a silver dollar and four pennies loose in the trousers pocket. The body was shown to have been in no manner disturbed. A pedestrian passing along the track Saturday night between ten and eleven o'clock saw the man lying by the track, but did not investigate, as he thought it was some lonesome Willy, sleeping off the effects of a night's carousal. The deceased was forty years of age, married; with a wife and three children residing at Phillips, Maine, his home. Mr. Petrie had been working for Mr. Lufkin for the past year, and was well liked and respected by all who knew him here. His work as supervisor of the gardening, and the girls employed, was in every way perfectly satisfactory. His sudden death is sincerely mourned by the friends and relatives, who knew him here, as he was a man of sterling qualities, and ability; and in every sense, moral and upright. The wife has been apprised of her husband's sudden death through a message sent by Coroner Stokes. Those who wish to view the remains of the late Larry J. Petrie may do so from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. today at the undertaking parlors of R. H. Stokes. Remains will be shipped to Phillips, Maine, this evening at 10 o'clock.
- Ladysmith News Budget (Ladysmith, WI), Thursday, 12 September 1907: Larry Petrie, while on his way home, dropped dead in the suburbs of Eau Claire. He had been a foreman on the large farm of his cousin, Geo. W. Lufkin.
