MATRON DEAD; BLAME GAS
Mrs. Nettie Lehr's Body Found in Chair Beside Stove
Mrs. Nettie Lehr, 53, formerly a Reardan resident, was found dead in her home, W 1907 Carlisle, Wednesday. Gas jets in the kitchen were on when her daughter, Mrs. T. J. Stockstill of Davenport, who came here with Fred Denson, a merchant, entered the house.
Neighbors had not seen Mrs. Lehr since Sunday. It was believed death had occurred two or three days ago. Detectives Herbert and Tesdahl investigated and Dr. T. C. Barnhart, coroner, sent the body to Smith's & Co.'s. A pan of water was on the stove. Mrs. Lehr was seating in a chair in front of the stove. It was possible the death was accidental, although the police report stated suicide.
Mrs. Lehr, who had lived here about 16 years, leaves another daughter, Mrs. Amanda Funk in Long Beach, Cal.; four sisters, Mrs. George Gunning of Spokane, Mrs. D. M. Hickox of Reardan, Mrs. Hugh Newlon of Worley, Idaho, and Mrs. Minnie Henning of Omak; also two brothers, Jim and Hugh Smith of Worley.
As far as could be learned, Mrs. Lehr had not been sick or despondent, her son-in-law said.
