Mrs. Charles V. Agan, Decatur, died Wednesday in the Decatur and Macon county hospital of uraemic poisoning, following a long illness of Bright's disease. Mrs. Agan was taken seriously ill a week ago last Friday in Danville. With her husband she had motored to that city for a visit, but the following Sunday morning uraemic poisoning developed and she relapsed into a comatose condition. Monday she rallied and was brought home, but last Sunday her condition was again serious and Monday she was taken to the hospital.
Mrs. Agan's name stands high among those who did much to alleviate suffering during the first influenza epidemic. She was particularly interested in children, and took many of them into her home while their mothers were ill in the influenza emergency hospital in the Millikin homestead. In speaking of her work in this connection, A. H. Cope, who worked in close co-operation with Commissioner Mattes at that time, said, "She is a woman before whose home I always remove my hat."
Rachel Ann Patton was born in Hocking county, Ohio, Oct. 8, 1867. She was married July 5, 1891, to S. W. Smith and with her husband came to Illinois to make her home. She has since lived in Decatur. One child was born to this union, Mamie Smith, now Mrs. J. Frank Ross, of Decatur. Mrs. Ross formerly was assistant county superintendent of schools.
June 1, 1908, Mrs. Smith and Charles V. Agan, city mail carrier were married. She was a member of the First Methodist church.
She leaves besides her husband and daughter, a foster-daughter, Winona Dobson, and step-son, Earl Agan of Lebanon, Ind., also a grand daughter, Eunice Lenore Ross, a brother, D. W. Patton of Hannibal, Mo. and two sisters, Mrs. Mattie M. Starkey of Ogden, Utah, and Mrs. Susan Feightner of Columbus, O.
