Obituary: MRS. WM. ASTLE DEAD. SHE WAS ONE OF THE PIONEERS OF THE VICINITY OF HAVEN. Monday evening the town was shocked to hear that Mrs. Wm. Astle had suddenly suffered another stroke of paralysis and passed away within a few minutes. Late in the afternoon, at a time when no one was at the house with her except her little granddaughter, Lurline Gilmore, she asked the little girl to wheel her over to the cupboard in order that she might reach some article. While in the act of getting the things from the cupboard, the stroke came without a moments warning. She spoke to the girl and asked her to straighten out her head and her feet for her, and commenced groaning. The granddaughter immediately ran to the neighbors for help, and the doctor and members of the family were hurriedly summoned. However, she died in a short time, never speaking after the request mentioned above was made to the granddaughter.
Mrs. Astle had been an invalid ever since February 1911, when she suffered her first paralytic stroke. She was able most of the time, however, to occupy an invalid's chair, and recently had been a little better than usual. The stroke Monday was the third.
The funeral was held this Thursday morning from the Congregational church. Rev. B.F. Buck, of Stockton, formerly a Congregational minister here, officiated. Internment was made in Laurel Cemetery.
Mrs. Astle was one of the pioneers of this vicinity, having come here with her husband in 1872. They lived on the old homestead just north of Haven until four and a half years ago, when they moved to Haven and since then have occupied their beautiful little home just across from the Methodist church.
She was a daughter of Henry and Louisa Tisius, and was born in Milwaukee, Wis. Sept. 1846. Her parents were both natives of Germany. In 1860 she moved with her parents to Alton, Ill., and in 1862 she went to St. Louis, Mo., to make her home with her uncle Christian Koelm. On the 24th of December, 1866, she was united in marriage to William Astle at the home of her parents in Alton.

In regards to the above incident, a family rumor is that Louisa asked Lurline to get something out of a cupboard that Louisa then took to end her life because of paralysis and a rumor that her husband was no longer faithful to her. That was discussed between the Astle sisters, Mary, Ruth and Dorothy at a get together in Yakima, Washington in July of 1997. They said Aunt Alice Astle Stagg would be more informative about the incident.
