Thinking his wife, Lydia, was sleeping soundly, E.E. Havill, a foreman at the Marion Shoe Company's plant, rose this morning about 5:45 o'clock and went to the factory. An hour later, after employees had started to work, he returned home for breakfast, as was his custom. He called his wife, there was no response and then he found her, cold in death.
Mrs. Havill, who was about fifty years of age, died of heart disease. Her father, Joseph Parkes, and a brother, Rowland Parkes, had met death from similar cause in Rochester, New York. Coroner Brady, who examined the body, said death must have occurred at midnight.
Although Mrs. Havill had lived here only a year, she had made many friends, who will be shocked to hear the news of her death. Mrs. Havill moved here from Columbus, where her husband was employed in a shoe factory.
Mrs. Havill was born in Birmingham England, but had lived in America many years. A husband and three children survive, the latter being Jessie L., Ada L., and Clinton H Havill. A brother, Franklin H Parkes of New York City and a sister, Mrs. E.J. Smith of London, England, also survive.
Mrs. Havill, all her life, had been a devout member of the Episcopal Church, and her funeral will be conducted from St. Paul Church in this city Friday at 2 o'clock.
