Woman refused to call doctor, dies suddenly
Mrs. Lillian M. Craig believed medical treatment useless--autopsy is held
Mrs. Lillian M. Craig, 58 died suddenly last night at 10:40 o'clock at her home, No 508 East Jefferson street.
Mrs. Craig had been ill for about three days with what she believed to be a cold. Members of the family did not think it serious. Mrs. Craig refused to allow a physician to be called because she did not believe in medical aid, the authorities learned.
She had been about the house and after eating supper with her family last evening went to bed. At 10:30 o'clock she called to her husband and told him that she felt ill. He propped her up in bed. She died while he was trying to help her. Dr. A.M. Wose was called and finding Mrs. Craig had been dead for some little time referred the case to Health Officer Sears.
At the order of acting Coroner Archer D. Babcock, who was notified by Dr. Sears, the body was taken to the morgue by Joseph Holliday, superintendent. An autopsy performed this afternoon showed death due to peritonitis.
Mrs. Craig had conducted a hair dressing establishment here for many years She was born in Vernon Center, Oneida county, but came her about thirty years ago.
She leaves her husband, James B. Craig; two brothers, Gilbert Martin of Bear Lake, Pa., and F.A. Martin of this city, and one sister, Miss Jessie E. Martin of Rome.
The body was removed to the home this afternoon by Undertaker Frank G. Bell. The funeral will be held there, the time to be announced later.
