MRS. REUBEN NASH DIES SUDDENLY.
Mrs. Bessie Nash, wife of Reuben Nash, a well-known farmer residing a mile and one-half west of Tocsin, died suddenly at seven-thirty o'clock Wednesday evening from apoplexy. She had been sick for several weeks with some minor ailments and had been confined to her bed for some time. Her condition was considered satisfactory and she had been steadily improving for several days. She was in bed Wednesday evening when she was stricken and death came almost instantaneously. Her husband who was in an adjoining room heard her gasp several times and hastened to her side. She had passed away before he reached her.
The arrangements for the funeral cannot be announced until word is received from Mrs. Nash's father, T. J. Sowards, of Tocsin, who is spending the winter in Florida. A message was sent to Mr. Sowards this morning informing him of his daughter's death.
Mrs. Nash was a native of Wells County and was forty years of age on the fifth day of this month. She was married to Reuben Nash about twenty years ago, and their married life had been spent at their present home near Tocsin. The husband survives with seven children, all of whom are at home. They are as follows: John, Elihu, Irene, Virgil, Racheal, Harry and Donald.
Mrs. Nash's father, T. J. Sowards, survives with the following brothers and sisters: Mrs. John Nash, of Tocsin; Mrs. Harmon Lindaman, of Mt. Zion; Mrs. Will Sweeney, who with her husband arrived home this morning from Florida; and John Sowards, a rural mail carrier, of this city.
Mrs. Nash was a member and active worker in the Emmaus M. E. church and was the teacher of a class of boys in the Sabbath school.
