DEATH OF MRS. LYDIA A. CARLI
One of the earliest of the pioneers of the Northwest, and the first white woman to arrive in Stillwater, passes into eternal rest.
"I am not afraid of going: the final ending has no terrors for me. Of course I am in no particular hurry: this world is a pretty good world, and furthermore I have no means of knowing anything about the next world, or if there is one. I came into this world with my eyes shut and I expect to go out under the same conditions"-Remark of Mrs. Lydia A. Carli in the view of approaching death.
Mrs. Lydia A. Carli, one of the first settlers in Stillwater, died at her residence on the North Hill Friday morning at half past eight o'clock.
She had been in her usual health during the past few months, notwithstanding the burden of advancing years, and there were no indications of illness until a very short time before the end came.
She had been subject to sudden attacks of illness for several years, but seemed to recover quite readily, considering her great age. About 8 o'clock Friday morning she was seized with a sinking spell, but it was believed by the members of the family that the attack was similar to others which had preceded it. Dr. T.C. Clark was immediately summoned, but it was too late-the dark angel had closed her weary eyes in dreamless, everlasting sleep. Death came to her as with a single soundless step.
Mrs. Carli was a most remarkable woman. She came to Stillwater before there was any Stillwater-landing at a point north of the city then called Dakota, June 29, 1841- more than 64 years ago. She came as the wife of Paul Carli to whom she was married September 28, 1834 in Chicago and this has been her home during all these years.
The dangers, privations and hardships incident to the life of the early pioneers fell to her lot. But through it all her courage and fortitude, combined with vigorous health and a cheerful disposition sustained her in every trying position and under any and all circumstances of discouragement, even when the world even when the seemed a drear and desolate waste and the future filled with portents of disaster and dread.
Mrs. Carli was born near the city of Lancaster, Pa. March 13, 1818. In company with a number of friends she migrated to Chicago, reaching that settlement July 12, 1834, when she had barely passed her 17th birthday.
In the early spring of 1841 she and her husband were induced by Joseph R Brown, and elder brother of Mrs. Carli one of the rugged pioneers of that early day, to remove from Chicago to this place. Mr. Brown had located in the north part of this city- or what is now this city- had erected two or three buildings and named the place Dakota. They removed to St. Mary's, near the mouth of Bolles Creek, in the fall of 1844, where Mr. Carli was drowned in the spring of 1846. About a year later she was united in marriage with Dr. C. Carli, who died in this city Nov. 6, 1887.
Mrs. Carli had been the mother of 12 children, three of whom survive her- Mrs. M.M. Bolles, J. R. Carli and C. H. Carli. There are many grandchildren- one of whom, Mrs. L. D. Tubbs, nee Miss Lydia Grout, has made her home with her grandmother for many years.
