After suffering since Monday with embolus, a blood clot in an artery of the brain, Mrs. Helen WAGONER, wife of Omer WAGONER, and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. P. BAILEY, died Friday evening at 10 o'clock at the home on south Monroe street. The end came as a distinct shock to the community as Mrs. Wagoner was but 24 years old and was married only three years.
On Christmas eve Mrs. Wagoner gave birth to a son, who is living and in the best of health. The young wife seemingly recovered and last week received a number of visitors but on Monday, she became ill and her condition soon grew serious. Dr. Howard SHAFER was called from Chicago on Tuesday and he diagnosed the case as a blood clot on the brain. Everything was done to prolong life, but the attending physicians held out no hope from the first. The patient could not take medicine as the throat and part of the body were paralyzed and the clot, acting as a dam, kept the blood from circulating through the brain, causing a slow death.
Mrs. Helen WAGONER [Helen BAILEY], the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. P. BAILEY, of S. Madison st., Rochestr, was born Oct 31, 1891. She attended the grammar and high schools of the city, but did not graduate from the latter. Like her sisters, who was well known because of musical ability and her services were often in demand. In Feb, 1913, she was married to Omer WAGONER, a son of Mrs. Elizabeth WAGONER. He is associated with the Bailey planing mill. Deceased leaves, besides her parents, husband and infant son, William [WAGONER], three brothers and two sisters, Elliot [BAILEY], Max [BAILEY], Byron [BAILEY], Margaret [BAILEY SHAFER] and [Mary] Louise [BAILEY TAYLOR].
