A STROKE OF PARALYSIS
MRS. ELIZABETH STRECKER SUFFERED SUDDEN ATTACK TODAY
Just Before Being Stricken, She Had Been Telling Friends What Good Health She Always Had
----------------------------------------
While on her way to Carthage this morning to do some shopping, Mrs. Elizabeth strecker, who resides east of Jasper, was seized with an attack of paralysis in Kendricktown. She was in company of Mrs. C. S. Johnson, a friend, who realizing the danger, whipped up the horse and came into Carthage as fast as possible, where medical aid was secured, and just in time, for a few moments later whould have been too late.
Drs. F. W. Flower and T. A. McMurtry worked over the unfortunate woman for some time, and they now think that she may live, but as yet cannot decide what the result of the stroke will be. The right side of the entire body is a present affected, and Mrs. Strecker will lose the use of that side altogether if she recovers.
Upon arriving in Carthage, Mrs. Strecker, was taken to the Knoll undertaking parlors, where the physicians worked over her. At the time the woman was stricken, she was telling Mrs. Johnson of her wonderful working ability and of the robust health of herself and father.
Her husband and children living in this vicinity are all at her side having been called to Carthage by phone. She has eight children, but some are away from home, and they have been sent for. She is a woman about 48 years of age.
The Streckers are prominent in the locality to which they reside, and make their home on a farm owned by Probate Judge E E Hubbard of this city.
Mrs. Strecker was reared by Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Lamkin of Pine street.
At 2:30 this afternoon Mrs. Strecker was much worse and the physicians say that it is just a question of a few hours until death comes. Shortly after being taken to Knoll's she rallied and was conscious for some time, and appeared to be recovering, but she soon relapsed into unconsciousness, and has been in that state ever since.
Note: The Carthage Public Library provided this article and no obituary was provided. I presume there was none.
