Mrs. Joseph B. Cartmell Dies After Months of Suffering From Impaired Health
Was Active Church and Club Worker and Well Known Throughout City
After many months of seriously impaired health, death coming at 5:30 o'clock Monday morning, relieved the suffering of Mrs. Emma Anthony Cartmell, wife of Joseph B. Cartmell, but deprived Springfield of one of the city's most prominent and well known women.
Mrs. Cartmell had been in ill health for some time, and after several fruitless attempts to regain her perfect physical condition by living in different climates, she returned to Springfield several months ago and had been confined to her home all of that time.
Although it was generally known throughout Mrs. Cartmell's wide circle of acquaintances that she was in a most precarious condition, and that her life was despaired of, announcement of her death came as a great shock to many.
The decedent was the wife of Joseph B. Cartmell, treasurer of the Kelly-Springfield Road Roller company. She died at the residence at 1060 East High street with her husband and her immediate family at the bedside.
Mrs. Cartmell, formerly Miss Emma Anthony, was the daughter of General Charles and Mary Anthony, and was married to Mr. Cartmell in 1881. Mrs. Cartmell's parents were exceedingly well known in Springfield, as General Anthony was one of the city's most prominent citizens.
Mrs. Cartmell, besides her husband, leaves one brother, Malcolm Anthony, of Chicago, who was present when she passed away. The late Mrs. Joseph Black was a sister and Colonel Charles Anthony, late of Sleepy Hollow, was a brother of the decedent.
The death of Mrs. Black was thought to have affected Mrs. Cartmell and that her own death was hastened by grieving over that of her sister.
For years, Mrs. Cartmell was prominent and active as a member of the Women's clubs of this city and was high in state and national federations. She was known as a willing church worker of great benevolence. She had been identified with the Christ Episcopal church for many years.
The funeral services will be held at Christ Episcopal church on Thursday at 3 o'clock p.m. Interment at Ferncliff. Friends are requested to omit flowers.
