GOITRE BROUGHT DEATH TO MRS. ALBERT SWAIN
PROMINENT YOUNG MATRON DIED SATURDAY AFTERNOON -- LEAVES TWO CHILDREN
Mrs. Albert Swain, twenty-four years old, died at her home in Van Buren Township, west of Fountaintown, at three-thirty o'clock Saturday afternoon, following an illness of several months. Her death was due to complications caused by a goitre from which she had long been suffering. For the past ten weeks she had been unable to leave her room and was constantly under the care of Dr. Mace of New Palestine. Seven weeks ago she was taken to the Deaconess hospital at Indianapolis in the hope that an operation might give her relief, but her condition was such that it was impossible to perform the operation and she was returned to her home two weeks ago where she awaited with patience and true Christian fortitude the summons of the Death Angel. An autopsy was held Sunday afternoon, but the physician's were unable to ascribe any cause for her death except complications caused by the goitre.
Mrs. Swain was born and reared in VanBuren township and was widely known in the northern part of the county. She was popular among all who knew her and her untimely death came as a blow to her relatives and her many friends. Surviving her are her husband and two small children--Genevieve, five years old, and Charles, not yet two years of age. She also leaves her mother, Mrs. Albert Drake, of Moral township; her step-father, a brother, Edgar Ridlin, of Moral township, and a half-brother, Ralph Drake.
