Died: The saddest event that has occurred in this city for a long time was the sudden and unexpected death, on Sunday afternoon, March 24th, of Mrs. Emma E. Lindley, wife of our townsman, T.L. Lindley. She had been complaining slightly for a week, but did not consider herself sick. Her three children were taken with measles last week and she was able, up to Saturday night late, to give them a devoted mother's care. Then she was suddenly prostrated, and continued to grow worse until death relieved her sufferings. Her condition was not realized until noon, when Dr. Gillette called in Dr. Gould for consultation. The physicians say the cause of her death was a milignant type of measles. Mrs. Lindley was born at Lawrence, Kansas, twenty six years ago. She was a daughter of Capt. and Mrs. N.B. Blanton, of Hazelton township. She was married to T.L. Lindley ten years ago, in this county, and of this union were born five children, three yet surviving, the youngest being but a babe. Mrs. Lindley was a sister of Mrs. D.T. Flynn and Mrs Frank Streeter, of Kiowa. Mrs. Lindley was a most lovable woman, one who clamed everybody as a friend, who was ever found with words of sympathy for the distressed, and whose hands never tired in doing good for all around her. As a wife, she was thoughtful, considerate and frugal; as a mother, she was a subject for a poet's song; as a friend and neighbor, she was warm-hearted and altogether unselfish. Her genial presence at home, in the neighborhood circle, in the halls of pleasure, or in the house of mourning or trouble, was as a soft ray of sunshine from a May day sun, pleasant to experience and regretted when it departs. The funeral services were conducted Monday afternoon at the Presbyterian Church, by the pastor, Rev. North, assisted by Rev. Cain, of the Baptist Church, and Rev. Sanderson, of the M.E. Church. The remains were interred at Highland Cemetery.
