on 15 Apr 1904 in Huntington, Cabell Co., WV.
MRS. STODDARD DIED TODAY; LOVABLE WOMAN BREATHED HER LAST AT AN
EARLY HOUR THIS MORNING.
Mrs. Mary A. Stoddard died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs.
Gus H. Honshell on Fourth Ave. this morning at fifteen
minutes before five o'clock after a serious illness of only a few
days. While she has been an invalid for many years Mrs. Stoddard's condition
was not considered serious until a few days ago when it became apparent
that she was slowly sinking and that she would soon cross the river dividing
life from death. During Thursday evening and night she continually grew
weaker and this morning breathed her last. She passed away peacefully
with not a groan or a murmer but with a smile, upon her face that was characteristic
of her whole life.
Mrs. Stoddard was born eighty-two years ago in Woodburg Connecticut.
Her maiden name was Miss Mary A. Bush. She married in New Haven Connecticut
to Mr. Seth Stoddard, a brother of Mrs. D. W. Emmons of this city.
Three daughters survive the union. Mrs. Gus H. Honshell and Mrs. Willis
E. Parsons, of this city, and Mrs. Ida Hawley, of Hawleyville, Connecticut.
After her husband's death Mrs. Stoddard came to this city where
she made her home with Mr. and Mrs. Honshell for more than twenty years.
Mrs. Stoddard was a woman of a lovable character and a sweet disposition,
that endeared all to her and which made friends of all whom she came in
contact.
The funeral services will be held next Sunday afternoon at two o'clock
at the residence on Fourth Ave. conducted by Rev. John T. Gibson rector
of the Trinity Episcopal Church. The remains accompanied by the family
and friends will be taken to Catlettsburg where the interment will made
in the Honshell burial lot. |
