Washington Democrat
Edith E. Eskew Died 01/29/1938
Mrs. Edith Edna Eskew, 75, widow of the late Charles William Eskew, of
15 S.W. 2nd St, died at 6:30 Friday night at the Daviess county hospital.
Death of Mrs Eskew was attributed to shock and complications resulting
from a broken hip, received two days ago in a fall at her home. She
was taken to the hospital yesterday afternoon for treatment. Born in
Kentucky on October 12, 1862, the deceased was a daughter of Anderson
and Jane (Shadd) Armes, and came to this city as a small child, it
being recalled that the family came overland, the father carrying the
small baby on horseback. She married Mr. Eskew 49 years ago, and he
died about four years ago in this city. Surviving Mrs. Eskew are four
of six children born to the union, Mrs. Clara Brian, Alva and Henry
Eskew of Washington, and Mrs. Joseph Bailey of Cincinnati. Two half-brothers
and one half-sister also survive. They are William and Sherman Armes
and Mrs. Charles Chickedants, all of Washington. Funeral arrangements
are incomplete. Ed Keller will have charge of the funeral.
