Valvular Heart Trouble Given as Cause of Sudden Death.
Mrs. Eva Wells, widow of William E. Wells, who died the fore part of the present year, dropped dead upon Whittlesey Avenue, near Main stret [sic], Saturday evening, about 9 o’clock. Death was due to valvular heart trouble, from which she had suffered for some time.
Mrs. Wells left her home early in the evening and went to the Apostolic Bible school, - on Whittlesey avenue, near the L. S. & M. S. passenger depot, of which she was a regular attendant. While there she had a bad spell, but thought she had recovered sufficient to go to the business portion of the city and do a little shopping.
She had nearly reached Main street when she was stricken again and fell to the sidewalk. A farmer was untying his horse from the hitching rail along side of the aber block when Mrs. Wells fell to the sidewalk. He rushed to her assistance, and, discovering her condition to be critical, with assistance, placed her in his buggy and hurried to the office of Dr. Gill, only a short distance away. By the time the doctor had been summoned Mrs. Wells was dead.
The body was not taken from the buggy and she was taken to her home, No. 21 Rule Street and Hay & Sons, undertakers were called to prepare the body for burial.
Mrs. Wells is survived by five sons, as follows: A. D. Wells, of Cleveland; J. E. Wells, of this city; G. W. Wells, of Grafton; Edwin C. Wells, and Paul H. Wells, of this city. One sister, Mrs. William Cherry of this city, and one brother Mr. Babcock, of Cleveland, as well as four grandchildren, survive.
