SICK ONLY A FEW HOURS
Stricken With Apoplexy Saturday Evening and Died Following Morning
Mrs. Laura Andrews, wife of P. L. Andrews, died Sunday morning at six o'clock at her home on South Seventh street, after an illness of fourteen hours' duration, death resulting from apoplexy. The report of her death came as a shock to the entire community, as no one was aware that she had been sick, and for a time it was hard to convince her many friends. The first sign of illness came about four o'clock Saturday evening shortly after she had returned from a pleasant visit with Mrs. Moore, on Tenth street, and she was at the time sitting on the porch in a rocking chair. She called for Mrs. Dick Burrell to come over, stating that she was very sick and wanted her to assist her into the house. This Mrs. Burrell did and laid her on the sofa. She then hurriedly telephoned to Dr. McMillen, and returned to Andrews' home and found that Mrs. Andrews had tried to get up and had fallen on the floor. Dr. McMillen soon arrived and started to work with her, but all his efforts proved to be fruitless, as she showed no improvement. About six o'clock she rallied and said, " Oh, I am so sick, " and then lapsed into unconsciousness, from which she never rallied, and at six o'clock Sunday morning, death relieved her. A closer examination revealed the fact that the left side was totally paralyzed and that the direct cause of her death had been apoplexy. This was the same disease that had caused her mother and sister's death. Mrs. Andrews was born in Dark county, O., on the eighth day of April, 1860, and was reared there with her parents until a young girl, when they came to this county, where they since resided. She was united in marriage to P. L. Andrews on April 18, 1905, the ceremony being performed at Cardwell, Missouri, where they were then both making their home. They returned to this city last April and since that time have been making their home on South Seventh street. The funeral services will be held tomorrow morning at ten o'clock at the house, providing it is a nice day, otherwise the services will be held at the Presbyterian church at the same hour, Rev. Alfred Fowler officiating and interment will be made in the Decatur cemetery.
