PARALYSIS FATAL
Mrs. James Close, Who Suffered First Stroke Four Months Ago
SUCCUMBED TODAY
Passed Away At Home of Sister, Mrs. John Raudebush - Burial Saturday
Nancy A. Close, aged nearly seventy-three years, widow of James Close, who for the past four months has helpless from paralysis, and whose life has been hanging by a thread for the past few days, this morning at 7 o'clock passed away at the home of her sister, Mrs. John Raudebush, in the north part of the city. About 4 months ago Mrs. Close, with her sister and other relatives, went to visit with their brother, William Daugherty, at Big Rapids, Mich., and while there, Mrs. Close suffered the first attack of paralysis. She was rendered helpless and it was necessary to bring her home on a cot. Since that time she has gradually declined.
Mrs. Close was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Daugherty. She was born in Starke county, Ohio, December 16, 1937, and had she lived but a week and a day longer would have been seventy-three years of age. In childhood she came with her parents to Allen county, Indiana, and grew to womanhood. She was married there to James Close, and later came to this county to reside, making their home four miles west of this city. They lived in this vicinity for some twenty-five or thirty years, becoming well known, and then went to Jamesville, Wis., to live, and later to Oklahoma. Five years ago Mr. Close died in Oklahoma, and a year later his widow came here and has resided since with her sister, Mrs. Raudebush.
Mrs. Close is survived by three daughters, all living at Pallisbell, Mont. They are Mrs. William Butler, Mrs. Lizzie Smith and Mrs. Tom Lee. She also leaves a grandson, Charles Hutcheson, whom she reared as her own. He also lives in Pallisbell. A daughter, Mrs. William Hutcheson, and a son, Will Close, besides an infant daughter, have gone before.
George Daugherty of Oklahoma, William H. Daugherty of Big Rapids, Mich., and Mrs. John Raudebush of this city are surviving brothers and sister.
The funeral will be held Saturday morning at 10 o'clock from the M. E. church, the services to be conducted by the pastor, the Rev. Sherman Powell. Burial in the Decatur cemetery.
