Mrs. P. I. HOISTON (sic)

After a prolonged illness, Mrs. P. I. HAISTON died at her home on West Grimes street on Saturday morning, May 1st, 1909.

Although Mrs. HAISTON had been ill for many months, yet her death was a shock to her family and friends, as she had seemed better of late, and the end was not expected.

Throughout the night before her death she had rested well and seemed decidedly better until about four o'clock in the morning, when she awoke and requested her husband to fan her, as she felt smothered. While he was doing so she fell back and life was gone. The suddenness of the blow produced a great shock to the husband and children, who could not realize their loss in the first moments of surprise and grief.

Elizabeth VAN SANT HAISTON was born at Wooster, Ohio, May 17, 1844. When a little child she came with her parents to Iowa, where she grew to womanhood, and on February 18, 1864, she was united in marriage to Peter I. HAISTON. Mr. and Mrs. HAISTON lived in Brighton for a number of years, then moved to this city, where they have made their home for the past twenty years.

Seven children were born to Mr. and Mrs. HAISTON, six of whom are living, the eldest son having preceded his mother across the river of death.

Mrs. HAISTON was a member of the Baptist church of this city, and during her residence here has endeared herself to large numbers of friends who join with the family in grief for the one who has gone.
