Mrs. R. J. Stolting, of southeast of Golden City, died very suddenly Friday night, May 9th. Mrs. Stolting was apparently in the best of health a short time before her death. She had spent the day visiting at the home of a neighbor, returned late in the afternoon, and went about her work of getting supper and doing up the chores as usual. She had retired for the night, and became suddenly ill. Dr. Brooks was called first and then Dr. Williams was called, in an attempt to save her. Death was caused by cerebral hemorrhage.
Emma Henryetta Stolting was born February 7, 1884, at Lockwood, Missouri, the daughter of John and Maggie Wilhelm, and died at her home southeast of Golden City on Friday, May 9; aged, 40 years, 3 months and 2 days.
In July 1903, she was united in marriage to John Bollinger, who departed this life on December 17, 1907, leaving three daughters, Mrs. Johanna Bishop, Mrs. Josephine Stevenson and Miss Bertha Bollinger, the two former living near Lockwood, the latter making her home with her mother. On November 9, 1912, she was married to Richard J. Stolting. To this union was born four children: Anna A. was born October 3, 1913, and departed this life on December 11, 1921.
