MRS. A. P. SCRITCHFIELD PASSES

Former Payette Lady Dies Suddenly At Weiser of Mastoid Trouble

Late Monday evening Mr. E. C. S. Brainard received the news that Mrs. A. P. 
Scritchfield, daughter of Mrs. Mary Cree, of this city, was suddenly stricken 
with mastoid trouble following an attack of influenza, and was not expected to 
live. Mrs. Scott Brainard, sister of Mrs. Scrichfield, was visiting at the 
Brainard home and she and Mr.. Brainard drove to Weiser at once, only to find 
that hope had been abandoned by her physicians.

The gathering in Mrs. Scritchfield's head broke and burst her ear drum but the 
poisonous puss was not thrown off and went to her brain. Death followed at 2 
o'clock Tuesday afternoon during which time the unfortunate lady was relieved 
of the suffering, which would have followed, by unconsciousness. Death came 
quietly and peacefully. With her at the time was her husband and children, her 
sister, Mrs. Scott Brainard, and brother, John Cree, who reached her bedside 
Tuesday morning. The mother was visiting a son at Eugene, Oregon, and they did 
not arrive until after her death.

Funeral services were held in the Methodist church in this city at 2:30 this 
afternoon, the Rev. V. E. Hall officiating, and interment took place at 
Riverside cemetery.

A more extended obituary will be published next week.
