Lucy Woirhaye
Miss Lucy Woirhaye (1894-1910), oldest daughter of John Woirhaye, living on the Sulphur Road, died Saturday, December 31, 1911, at 2:30 o'clock at the home of Robert H. Casey in this place where she had come on Friday evening to attend a meeting of her social club, an organization composed of boys and girls of about her age โ her intention being to remain a day or two as the guest of her good friend, Miss Lucile Casey, the daughter of the house.
While playing on the piano for the happy party she was suddenly stricken with severe pain and left the room to seek relief from Mrs. Casey. Her suffering soon became excruciating, and Dr. Owen Carroll was called. The usual remedies were unavailing. Dr. Nuttall and Dr. Elliston were afterwards called in consultation. It was a case of intestinal obstruction, and it grew more and more hopeless as the hours passed, not-withstanding that resort was had to the most heroic measures. The end came 18 hours after the first attack. Her parents and her only sister were with her, of course, having been summoned within less than three hours after her illness began.
Thus passed one of the loveliest girls in all the community. She was intelligent, affable, kind, studious, and universally popular. Her death is deeply deplored by all, and sincerely mourned by many people, while sympathy felt for the family is utterly inexpressible. If Miss Lucy had lived until next Friday, the 13th, she would have been 17 years old. She made a profession of faith in Christ during the great Wharton meeting some time since.
The funeral at the Baptist Church last Monday at 10:30 o'clock was attended by a throng of people. The principal discourse was by the pastor Rev. Dr. George B. Eager, but Rev. C. O. Woodward, of the Christian Church, also spoke and assisted in other parts of the service, as did Rev. C. J. Nugent of the Methodist Church. Never, perhaps, was there a more tearful or more sorrowful assembly in New Castle.
The offerings of flowers were lavish and rich, amount the lot being a blanket from the members of the club. The pall bearers were composed mostly of her boy friends, and her intimate girl associates bore the flowers. The interment was in the New Castle Cemetery.
