The obit continues below: "When her body was discovered yesterday, the crocheting thread was around her fingers and it was evident that she was just about to take another stitch when fatally stricken."
RIP, Phoebe Antoinette McKibbin Herrold, daughter of Harriet Larimer, hubby's 1st cousin 4x removed, part of the Larimer line we've been tracing.
Marian, it must have been very sudden. At least she was doing something I assume she enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteColleen, you're right, and that's fortunate. The obit suggests that the entire family's health had been weakened by smallpox and she was trying to recover her strength but had complained of heart pains, sorry to say.
