"Funeral of Young Woman"
The funeral of Mrs. Wm. Padden occurred from the home of her father John W. Baird on Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock, Father Kennedy preaching the sermon. The choir sang “Nearer my God to Thee,” and “Lead Kindly Light”. Many beautiful floral pieces were sent by friends of the departed, and a large number of friends attended the funeral and accompanied the body to the depot from where it was shipped to Wheaton, Ill., to be laid beside the body of the mother who passed away a few years ago. The body was accompanied on its last journey by the husband, father and sister Myrtle. This is a particularly sad case, the young mother leaving a son just twenty-four days old today, which will be cared for by the sisters and the little fellow has been christened Curtis Alonso, the mother having fortunately had the pleasure of naming him.
The Ely Exotor has the following article:--After an illness dating from the time of the birth of her child on August 31, Mrs. Jessie Padden died at her home in East Ely at 3:10 o’clock this morning. Peritonitis was the cause of death. The death of the young woman came as a sad blow to the husband and family. She had been married a year and five months and was only 23 years of age. Her husband is employed in the suburan service of the Nevada Northern and the couple were well known in and around Ely.
Dr. Wallace was in attendance when the child was born. He at once realized the serious condition of Mrs. Padden and Drs. Adams and Holland were called in consultation. Two sisters of Mrs. Padden Mrs. Pansy Armstrong and Myrtle Baird of Rock Springs, Wyoming, were summoned and were here for some time previous to the death this morning.
Mrs. Padden was a native of Laramie, Wyo. She was the daughter of John W. Baird, a well known citizen of that place. In addition to her father she is survived by the two sisters named, as well as her husband and two weeks’ old child.
