CHAFFEE WOMAN IS FOUND DEAD; HAD BEEN SICK
Special to The Missourian.
Chaffee, Jan. 15. — Mrs. Stella Black, 76 years old, was found dead in bed early today at her home, where she had lived alone since the death of her husband last July. The body was found by Janice Ashley, a small girl who had been visiting the aged woman regularly. Mrs. Black was fully clothed, except for shoes and stockings, and was lying across the foot of her bed. She had been dead but a short time.
A physician said she had been suffering from tuberculosis and death apparently had been caused by a heart attack. She had been subject to coughing attacks, it was said.
Funeral services will be held at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon at the Methodist Church. Rev. George Walker, pastor, will conduct the services and burial will be in Union Park cemetery.
Plans for Funeral.
Mr. and Mrs. Black came here in 1906 from Chatham, Ill., and until shortly before the former's death had engaged in the grocery business. Mrs. Black, however, had been virtually an invalid for the past three years, but insisted on living alone following her husband's death. Mrs. Black is survived by no near living relatives.
She left instructions as to her funeral services. A note found at the house requested the reading of the 44th verse of the 25th chapter of Matthews, and the singing of Hymn No. 258 in the church hymn book. The hymn is entitled "I Will Sing You a Song of That Beautiful Land."
