How did john philip sousa die?
On March 6, 1932, Harry B. Fehl leaned down to his 6-year-old daughter, Helen, and told her, “This is a very important, historical moment in your life.” For on that day, famed composer and conductor John Philip Sousa died of a heart attack in his room on the 14th floor of what is now The Abraham Lincoln hotel, Fifth and Washington streets. So Fehl took Helen, his 12-year-old daughter, Mary Louise, and his wife, also Helen, from their home in West Reading to the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. depot that was at the foot of Penn Street in Reading. http://readingeagle.com/article.aspx?id=… also try for other info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Philip… http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0815971/bio
