MRS. SCHEID DIES FROM LOCKJAW
An attack of lockjaw, which was discovered
last Friday morning. proved fatal to Mrs. Anna Scheid Sunday morning,
when death came about 6:30 o'clock. There were no abrasions on the skin
in which the disease could have become infected and it is supposed it
originated in a pus formation. Her condition was critical from the start
and her death was no surprise as the physicians had given her up after
doing every thing in their power to save her life. She lived in Cabledale
on west Walnut street. Mrs. Scheid was a native of Germany (**)born May
14th, sixty-three years ago. When she was 19 years old she came to America
by herself and went to Aurora, where she made her home with relatives
until she was twenty-four years old. At that age she became the wife
of Charles Scheid, who has been dead eight years. They came to Washington
where her husband had accepted employment with the B. & O. Southwestern
railroad. Several children were born and five are still living. They
are Charles and John Scheid of this city; Arthur of Salida, Colorado;
Peter of Mason City, Iowa; and Mrs. John Banta of Seymour. She also leaves
three brothers and one sister. They are Herman Perpingon, this city;
and Charles and Henry Perpingon of Aurora; and Mrs. Job Cosby of Aurora.
Mrs. Scheid had a stroke of paralysis about two years ago and she had
been afflicted since that time. She was a member of the Second M. E.
church but belonged to no orders. Short funeral services will be preached
at the home tonight at 7:30 o'clock by the Rev. Hayden H. Allen and the
