The Evening Times (Washington, D.C.) December 3, 1896 page 1
Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 3.—John Tod, of Cleveland, Ohio, one of the most prominent business men of Northern Ohio, and a son of David Tod, one of Ohio’s war governors, died suddenly of apoplexy at the Crittenden Hotel at an early hour this morning.

He was here yesterday, attending a meeting of the statehouse building commission, to which he was appointed recently by Gov. Bushnell, and left the hotel before daylight to catch a train for Cleveland.

On reaching the depot he found he had forgotten his glass eye, and returned to the hotel for it. He was excited by fear of missing his train, and fell dead in the elevator.
