Edith McRae Scripps, died in 1917 of influenza she contracted while serving as a volunteer nurse during a worldwide flu epidemic.
WOMAN NOTED FOR CHARITY, IS DEAD
The death of Mrs. Edith McRae Scripps, which occured yesterday afternoon at her home at 230 West Laurel Street, cast a spell of sorrow throughout the social circles of Coronado and San Diego, where she was well known.
Mrs. Scripps recently sustained a severe cold at the opening ball of the Red Cross house in Balboa Park, in which she was deeply interested, and the cold later developed into double pneumonia. Yesterday it became known that there was no hope for recovery and the young woman was unconscious much of the time.
Besides her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Milton McRae, she leaves a 6 year old son, John Paul Scripps, Jr; two sisters, Mrs. William Alden Smith, Jr. of Riverside and Mrs. Howard Henderson of New York, and a brother, Lindsey S. McRae of Detroit, Mich.
Mrs. Scripps, one of the most beautiful young women of the city, had been active in war work and other charities since living here. Since the death of her husband four years ago she has made her home here. He was the son of E.W. Scripps and at one time editor-in- chief of the Scripps-McRae papers in Ohio.
One of Mrs. Scripps recent charitable works was her financial aid and personal work establishing and maintaining the new Red Cross house in Balboa Park.
Members of both the Scripps and McRae families were with her during her brief illness.
Services will be held at the family residence, 230 West Laurel Street, tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock and interment will be made in the Greenwood Cemetery.
