This community was shocked to learn of the death of Mrs. Thos. Gaskill in California, where she and her husband had gone about three weeks ago. Thursday, Dec. 16th, Mrs. Gaskill was stricken with paralysis and never regained consciousness.
Her remains arrived in Cresco on Thursday, accompanied by the bereaved husband, and were taken to the Bradley undertaking parlors.

SUDDEN DEATH OF MRS GASKILL
Mrs. J. T. Gaskill, who with Mr. Gaskill went to California a few weeks ago, expecting to spend the winter at Long Beach, did not live long to enjoy the change of climate in this world. Seemingly well and hearty, as she was about to retire for the night on Thursday Dec. 16, she suddenly felt a pain in the head, swooned and fell over on the couch, entirely helpless. Medical aid was summoned at once and the doctor pronounced it a paralytic stroke. From this she never recovered and passed away at 3 o’clock the following Saturday. The remains were shipped to Cresco and the funeral was held in the Methodist church Sunday afternoon, Rev. C. L. Nye officiating. Interment was in the Kendallville cemetery.
Anna Clark was born in Yates county, N. Y., Nov. 19th, 1848, and died in Long Beach, Cal., Dec. 18th, 1920, thus being 72 years lacking one day of one month of age. She suffered a stroke of paralysis Thursday evening Dec. 16th and remained unconscious until her death. She was married to J. T. Gaskill on Dec. 30th, 1875, and was the sister of Mr. Gaskill’s first wife, and stepmother to Mrs. Frank Crawford of Winneshiek county. Mrs. Gaskill also leaves one sister, Mrs. Mary E. Evert of Williams, Ia., all of whom were present at the funeral. Mrs. Gaskill with her husband was a regular attendant upon the M. E. church of Cresco and will be greatly missed by the congregation and the societies which she helped in so many ways.
Mr. Gaskill surely has the heartfelt sympathy of the community in this sad bereavement.
