PATHETIC DEATH OF MRS. G.L. HUNTING
Fatally Injured By Fall From a Fence at Back of Her Husband's Farm Where She Had Accompanied Him to Drive Up the Cows
The tragic death Saturday evening of Mrs. Hunting, the young wife of George L. Hunting, was a pathetically sad incident that has case a gloom over the community eight and one half miles northeast of Lodi where Mr. and Mrs. Hunting resided. If it were possible there is in her death a shade of deeper sadness that generally darkens a home.
Late in the afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Hunting left the house together to drive up the cows. Down the road and across the field they tripped arm in arm, happy and perfectly contented in their companionship of rural life. When they reached a fence that divided the farm the husband walked on ahead of his wife to open a gate through which the cattle might pass to an adjoining field. Looking back he saw his wife step across a small ditch as though she intended to assist in driving the cows through the open gate. The husband called back to her not to make the effort as he would turn the cows into the opening. He continued a short distance further when he again looked back to find his wife on the opposite side of the fence. She was endeavoring to rise from the ground where she had apparently fallen face downward and with both hands on the ground she was endeavoring to gain a sitting posture. The husband hurried to her and gathering her in his arms piteously begged her to speak to him. Her only response was one or two gasps, and the young wife lay a corpse in her husband's arms.
Who can conceive of a fate more cruelly precipitated so overwhelmingly sudden. It transcends all tragedy this loving husband beguiled in the belief that his wife had sufferd nothing more than a fainting spell to discover as in a flash the awful truth.
A little sister of the dead woman responded to the husband's frantic cals for aid and she rushed over to the adjoining farm. Robert Adams, Mr. Pearce and others responded. The body was placed in a buggy and removed to the home. Dr. Mason was summoned, but life had been extinct ...preceding the physician's arrival. An examination revealed that Mrs. Hunting's neck was broken. It is the belief of the husband that his wife must have endeavored to climb over the fence, and in so doing it is probable that her skirt clung to the barb-wire, pitching her forward as she jumped to the ground.
Mrs. Hunting was the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mr. A.L. Parker. She was a native of California and was 20 years of age last April. She was a woman of a most kind and affectionalte disposition and was universally esteemed. Besides her husband, father and mother she leaves four sisters and one brother.
The funeral will be held this afternoon from the residence at 1 o'clock. Interment will be made in Lodi cemetery.
