On Death's Roll: The people of Cassville were brought to sudden grief Tuesday morning by the announcement of the death of Mrs. W. H. Lathim of this city. For some time Mrs. Lathim had suffered from diabetes but her ailment was known to few of her friends. She was always about the duties of the home and bore her trouble patiently and for this reason the news of her sudden death came as a shock to her friends. Mrs. Lathim was down town Saturday. She was taken seriously ill Sunday night and died Monday night about 10 o'clock. Mrs. Essie Williams Lathim was born Oct 1, 1884 and died March 11, 1912, making her 27 years, 5 months, and 10 days old. She was married to William H. Lathim, Dec 24, 1908. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Williams. Her father died in September 1900, her mother lives in the Clay Hill locality in the north part of the county. She leaves also three sisters. The funeral services were held at the home in this city, Tuesday afternoon conducted by Rev. F. W. Jones of Stotts City, a [an] uncle of Mr. Lathim. Mr. and Mrs. Lathim have lived in Cassville less than one year but during that short time have made a host of friends. Mr. Lathim has the deepest sympathy of the citizens of Cassville in his great bereavement. He had recently bought a farm south of town and was planning to move to it since his school in the Pasley district has closed. |
