OBITUARY ---------------DAGMAR PLUMP
Redwood City Democrat
January 6, 1916
This city was startled, then shocked Tuesday morning when the news was spread around that Mrs. Dagmar Plump was dead and her husband, Will Plump, the well known manager of the Alhambra Theater and Bar, was dying.
Mrs. Plump’s lifeless body was found, by her father, Chris Hynding, when he went to the couple’s room in their home on Main Street at 10 o’clock in the morning to call them to breakfast. Along side the body of Mrs. Plump, lay the unconscious form of her husband. There was nothing about the room or the condition of the bodies that would indicate the death was caused by poisoning or gas asphyxiation. Nothing about the room had been disturbed during the night. At first glance Mr. and Mrs. Plump seemed peacefully sleeping.
Dr. J.L. Ross and E.J. Chapin were hastily summoned. The body of Mrs. Plump was taken in charge by Deputy Coroner Crowell and removed to the parlor of James Crowe Co. All day Tuesday, Dr. Ross and Dr. Chapin, assisted by Dr. Dolley and Dr. Dykes worked on Plump and finally succeeded in saving his life. He regained consciousness shortly before midnight and yesterday was reported improving. He is unable, however, to tell anything that might assist in unraveling the mystery connected with his wife’s death or his condition. The couple celebrated their twelfìh wedding anniversary Monday and to their friends, who called to offer congratulations, they seemed particularly happy and cheerful.
The doctors who are attending Plump have not yet arrived at any definite conclusion as to what they consider the exact cause of his illness and which is presumably the same that caused the death of his wife. An analysis of the contents of the stomach of Mrs. Plump is now being made, the result of which will probably be known today. The inquest will be held Saturday.
Mrs. Plump was born in this city and was thirty-three years of age. She attended the local grammar school and was exceedingly popular. Her brother, Andrew Hynding is manager of the Western Meat Co. in So. S.F. Mrs. Nathan Graves is her sister. Funeral will be strictly private.
Plot 179
Redwood City Democrat January 14, 1916
Will Plump who was found apparently in a dying condition on the morning of Jan. 4, beside his lifeless wife at their home on Mound St, was removed Thursday to the Huling sanitarium. Since that time he has been hovering between life and death, double pneumonia having set in. Yesterday, however, his condition was reported considerably improved and his physician, Dr. Chapin, is now holding out strong hope for his recovery.
Coroner Brooke held an inquest Saturday morning at the James Crowe undertaking parlors over the body of Mrs. Dagmar Plump. The jury, after listening to the testimony of Dr. J.L. Ross and C.J. Hynding, father of the dead woman, brought in the verdict that death was caused by hemorrhages and gas asphyxiation, the latter accidental. Mr. Hynding stated that when he entered the bedmoom on the morning in question, he detected a strong odor of gas. A tube attached to a gas stove had dropped off a connection in the wall close to where Mrs. Plump was sleeping. The gas jet was closed off but the supposition is that Plump, himself, being aroused by the smell of gas and realizing the danger had gotten up and turned off the gas and then tried to get back in bed but was overcome. He was found that morning lying partly on the bed and partly on the floor.
