MRS. LYDIA COWAN DIES THURS, MAY 12
Alone in her room, and with scarcely a moment's warning, Mrs. Lydia A. Cowan, widow of the late Dr. J. A. Cowan, sank into a sudden illness last evening which within a few minutes resulted in her unexpected and sad death. At her bedside when life became extinct were her daughter, Mrs. Annis Leas, and son-in-law, H. D. Weaver.
The decedent had returned from Ft. Wayne on an interurban car Wednesday evening where she had been the guest of relatives. She complained of suffering from a slight cold and said that she did not feel very well, but ate supper, and breakfast the next morning, feeling somewhat improved at that time. At about ten o'clock Thursday morning her condition became a little worse and a physician was called who administered medical aid. Mrs. Cowan then repaired to a room above the Leas millinary store and retired, resting much easier in consequence. At about eight o'clock Thursday evening, when the afflicted woman was apparently recuperating, Mrs. Leas left the room for a moment to telephone a physician relative to applications which had been advised and returning to the room noted that her mother was declining rapidly. In response to a query from Mrs. Leas, the mother stated that she felt very dizzy. Realizing that very serious illness had overtaken the woman, Mrs. Leas hastened for the physician. H. D. Weaver, son-in-law, seeing Mrs. Leas going for the doctor hurried up the stairway to ascertain the cause of the excitement and arrived just in time to lift the head of the woman as she breathed her last. Angina pectoris is given as the cause of the death.
The decedent, with her husband, Dr. J. A. Cowan, came from Decatur, Ind., to Auburn thirty-nine years ago, the husband passing into the eternal world twenty-five years ago. She was sixty-five years of age.
Mrs. Cowan during her residence in Auburn has been active in W. R. C. and Eastern Star circles, and among the many members in these organizations and her multitude of friends, the death is sadly felt. Mrs. Cowan found much pleasure in the domesticity of her home and has closely applied herself to such duties. She leaves behind a large following of sorrowing friends who join the bereaved relatives in their hour of most poignant sorrow.
