Mrs. Lewis Mattocks.

Emma (Poole) Mattocks, wife of Lewis Mattocks, died suddenly at her late home four miles southwest of this city, at 9:30 P. M. last Tuesday evening. The funeral service took place this afternoon at the Mt. Carmel church, Rev. Hunter officiating. The interment was at the Hutchinson cemetery. Deceased was a member of the Mt. Carmel Cumberland Presbyterian church.

Mrs. Mattocks was born in Iowa, but when quite young moved to Missouri, where in 1877 [1868] she and Lewis Mattocks were married. The same year they moved to Colchester, where they lived until 1881, when they moved to the farm where she died. She is survived by her husband and seven children, the youngest an infant daughter four weeks old on the day of the mother's death.

The cause of Mrs. Mattocks' death was embalism [sic], a sickness sometimes following childbirth. While ill, she was not thought to be dangerous, and was taken worse and almost immediately expired.
