WIDOW FOLLOWS DR. SOIK IN DEATH ON SUNDAY
Grief, Failing Health Cause of Her Death
Dies Few Days After That of Her Husband; Did Not Regain Consciousness
Mrs. Mabel Soik, whose husband, Dr. E. J. Soik, died suddenly last week, followed him in death Sunday afternoon, shortly after a stroke of paralysis which induced a coma.
Mrs. Soik passed away quietly about 2 o'clock, without regaining consciousness. Her death was laid to the shock and grief caused by the sudden death of her husband, although Mrs. Soik had borne up bravely (photo) during the funeral Saturday, and seemed fairly cheerful on Sunday morning as she discussed plans for the future with her children and friends. She had been in failing health, however, for a year previously, and was unable to withstand the blow of Dr. Soik's death.
Her death immediately following that of her husband recalled to family and friends the wish often expressed by Dr. and Mrs. Soik, that neither might survive the other. They were noted for the closeness and harmony of their lives together, and Mrs. Soik's grieving friends today found a bit of consolation in the fact that she had been re-untied with her husband.
Suffered No Pain
Shortly after noon yesterday her daughter, Mrs. R. Eldon Laird, heard Mrs. Soik sobbing. She went downstairs at once to comfort her, and assisted her to a davenport, noting that her mother seemed to be losing control of her limbs on the left side, and to be having difficulty in speech. Mrs. Soik faded gradually into unconsciousness, from which the doctor was unable to revive her. She suffered no pain or shock.
Funeral services will be held privately at the home, at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, it was announced. Only members of the family and close friends will attend. The family requested that no flowers be sent.
Sing Same Songs
At the services, which will be conducted by Rev. T.A. Hawkes, Mrs. H.C. Gowran and Mrs. Charles F. Krause will sing the same songs which they rendered at the funeral of Dr. Soik on Saturday.
Mrs. Soik was born in Berlin, Wis., December 25, 1876. Her maiden name was Mabel Graves, her parents being George and Harriet Graves of Berlin.
Educated in the Berlin schools, she married her schoolmate, Dr. Soik, on June 6, 1899, the year in which he established his practice in Two Rivers.
Her home had been here continuously since that time, and she became a social leader and well-known club worker in the community. Her home was always a center of social activity for a group of intimate friends of whom Dr. and Mrs. Soik were the leaders.
Mrs. Soik was the last of her own family, her only sister having died two years ago. She leaves two children to mourn her death, Mrs. R. Eldon Laird of Waverly, and Edward G. Soik, of Auburn, N.Y. There are two grandchild, the children of Mrs. Laird. Mr. and Mrs. Laird and Mrs. and Mrs. Edward Soik, here for Dr. Soik's funeral, were with their mother when she passed away.
