For the second time within the past month death has come suddenly to the homes of pioneers of this county. On yesterday morning while in the kitchen doing her morning work and feeling quite well, Mrs. Asa McCann walked over to the sink, and reeling over, just uttered the words, "I'm dying," and within a few moments was dead. The cause assigned was heart failure. While Mrs. McCann was a rather large and robust woman, her health at time was considered poor, but of late she was in unusally good health. The previous evening she been down town and attended the show, and stopped in at the ice cream parlor with her daughters. She was expecting to go to Walla Walla last evening on the six thirty-five train. On account of the tirp she had arisen early in the morning and had noticed a little flutter of her heart, but as she was subject to these spells she did not worry over it much. Shortly after nine o'clock she had returned from her daughter's house nearby and was in the kitchen attending to her household duties. Mr. McCan was just in the act of churning, and had just gone into the pantry when his wife staggered and fell. She was caught by her daughter, Idell. In a moment or two it was seen that the mother was past help. The funeral service will be held at the Methodist church tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. Gailey will preach the sermon.
Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth McCann was born at Lloyd, Wisconsin, on June 7, 1860. At the time of her death she was 53 years, 3 months and 17 days old. On May 11, 1883 she married Asa McCann and to this union seven children were born, two sons and five daughters, all of whom survive. The children are; Mrs. Maude Plunkett of Seattle; Mrs. Ada Foley of Ritzville; Mrs. Anna Haight of Palasades, Washington, Fred, Walter, Idell and Josie McCan, all of who lived at home. Mrs. McCann has been a member of the Methodist church for years. She had many friends in the community who will greatly miss her. While all who knew her respected her, it will be within the home circle that the irreperable loss wil be felt most keenly.
