| OBITUARY: Mrs. Mary Staats, wife of H.D. Staats of Lewisville, Polk county, was killed at 3 o’clock last Friday afternoon, May 5, while riding in a cart alone on the road. It is supposed that the horse ran away and collided with a barb wire fence. The horse was stopped after running a short distance and Mrs. Staats was taken from the cart. She died in a few minutes. No person saw her strike the fence with her head, but these are the conclusions of the first that arrived at the scene of the accident. Mrs. Staats was a daughter of Isaac Zumwalt, a prominent pioneer of 1846. She was born in Polk county, near Lewisville, March 23, 1853, and was raised on the home place. She was married to Henry D. Staats, Feb. 28, 1873. She was a kind neighbor and was beloved by all. The funeral services were held on Saturday and were largely attended. Dallas Observer 12 May 1899 |
