of Lovelock, Nevada, who was here visiting her father, was taken with
an attack of heart failure which resulted in her death.
Mrs. Mohatt arrived Saturday, expecting to spend some time here
in the hopes that a change of climate would be beneficial to her health.
She was feeling unusually well Monday and she and her father had planned
on driving over to Yuma to see an old friend of Mrs. Mohatt, who was going to
accompany them home and spend a few days with them at Otis. After dinner she
told her father that she felt well, but was sleepy. He told her there
was no hurry about the trip and for her to go and lie down for awhile;
this she did and got up after awhile and said she had a fine nap
an was feeling good. She then went to an outhouse and her
father after waiting a short time he becam uneasy and told Mrs. A. J. Loy
that he wished she would go and look for her. Mrs. Loy went immediately
and found her crumpled up on the floor. A doctor was summuoned, but upon
examination pronounced live extinct.
She was born at Thurman, Fremont county, Iowa, December 19th, 1882.
Of her immediate family, besides her father, she leaves to mourn her untimely
death her husband, and one son, who were at their home at Lovelock, but
who are expected on No. 14 today. ( Thursday )
No funeral arrangements will be made until after the arrival of husband
and son.
It's a sad ending of an anticipated happy visit, but
we must all pass on, so Providence decrees and it is only
a mattcr of time until the Grim Destroyer visits our homes and
takes away those whom we hold most dear. — Otis Independent."
