SMILING, HER EYES CLOSE IN DEATH

Death of Mrs. Catto Follows Operation At Hospital

With a smile upon her face, symbolic of the smiles she brought to others a 
long this toilsome journey of life, Mrs. Helen Catto, widow of Walter Catto, 
deceased, peacefully passed away at the Holy Rosary hospital in Ontario, on 
Thursday morning just as the clock was striking five.

Deceased was born in Ontario, Canada on October 20th, 1865, her maiden name 
being Helen Laughlin. At the age of about eighteen she was married to Walter 
Catto in the city of London, Ont. Three children were born to this union --- 
all of whom survive. Rhea Catto, of Chicago was the eldest and was here the 
past autumn visiting with her mother and brother for several weeks; Nema (now 
Mrs. F.J. Ireland) of Chicago and Walter Catto, Jr., of this place. She also 
leaves to mourn her death two sisters --- Mrs. George D. Smith of Los Angeles 
and Mrs. M. D. McNichols of Tacoma – the latter arriving a few hours before 
Mrs. Catto died, and in time to be recognized by the dying woman.

We knew Mrs. Catto quite intimately and can truthfully say she was one of 
God’s best children – quiet, unassuming, cultured, unselfish, of a happy 
disposition, and as good a mother as ever was born. She was a member of the 
First Presbyterian church of Tacoma and her body will be taken to that place 
to be interred beside her deceased husband. The two daughters are on their way 
from Chicago and will arrive sometime the last of the week. If “to live in 
hearts we leave behind, is not to die” then Mrs. Catto is not dead – but just 
crossed over to another sphere.
