Sudden Death of Mrs. Stella Maston
This community was stirred and shocked beyond measure on Tuesday afternoon by the report that Mrs. Estell Maston had died at her home very suddenly about 2 o'clock. Few had heard that she was ill and the startling intelligence could hardly be believed. On the day before she was on duty at J.M. Varney's store, where she has worked as saleslady for several years, until noon, but said on leaving the store that she was not feeling well and would not return in the afternoon. Her attack seemed to be a bad cold or grippe. She complained of no particular pain during the afternoon and night but a drowsiness and stupor fell upon her in the forenoon Tuesday and two hours before her death she lapsed into entire unconsciousness from which she not be roused. Both Drs. Lovett and Calbreath were called but her ailment was beyond the power of human skill to relieve and she sank into that sleep that knows no awakening.
The physicians are of the opinion that her death was caused by an effusion of blood or a blood clot on the brain. Her death was mercifully painless and peaceful.
Mrs. Maston was one of the best known ladies of this place, having been in the employ of Mr. J.M. Varney as saleslady at the store for many years and hosts of business and personal friends who deeply mourn her death. She was born in Allerton July 16, 1875, coming to this place when quite young where she has since resided. She leaves a husband and two children, a daughter, Loris aged 12 years, and a son, Burris, aged 10, and many relatives and friends to mourn her untimely death.
Her funeral was held from her home yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock and the remains were interred at Evergreen cemetery.
