Coroner John Beely of LeMars was called to the Nolan home five miles west and four miles south of Maurice on Sunday to investigate the death of Mrs. James Nolan, who died very suddenly Sunday morning. Mr. and Mrs. Nolan reside with Mr. Nolan’s parents on the farm and on Sunday morning the members of the household prepared to go to church at Struble as usual. Mrs. Nolan got ready to accompany the other members of the family to church but complained of feeling ill and said she would go and lied down, which she died while the others proceeded to church. On their return at noon they found Mrs. Nolan lying on the bed in her room, stark and cold in death. Mrs. McGrain, mother of Mrs. Nolan, stated that her daughter had been troubled with heart disease and had consulted doctors for relief. Dr. Triechler of Struble who was called in, corroborated this statement. Coroner Beely in view of the circumstances did not deem an inquest necessary. Mrs. Nolan was about twenty years of age and was married last November to James Nolan. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. McGrain of Struble and was a beautiful and accomplished young lady. Before her marriage, she taught school in Plymouth county. The funeral was held Wednesday at the Catholic church in Struble, Rev. Father McNally officiating.
