AGED WOMAN ASPHYXIATED
Mrs. M.V. Brown Found Dead in Gas-Filled Room.
OLD COUNTY RESIDENT
Coroner Carl Gray Investigates and Decides Death Result of Accident

	Mrs. Melville V. Brown, 25 Poplar street, was found by her husband, 
sitting lifeless in her chair yesterday afternoon when he came home about 5:30 
o’clock.  Gas was pouring from an unlighted oven, the fumes of which had 
caused her death.   It is thought that she had lighted the oven for additional 
warmth, that it had gone out, and she had been overcome before she realized 
the conditions.
	 Mrs. Brown was 70 years and eight months old.  She was born in Emmet 
township, near the Spaulding schoolhouse, in 1855, her maiden name being Lissa 
Spaulding.  She lived in that neighborhood until her marriage in 1881, when 
she came to Battle Creek and had resided here ever since.
	Surviving relatives, besides the husband are two daughters, Mrs. FH 
Crandall, of Berrien Springs and Mrs. R.V. Lyman of Kansas City MO; three 
grandchildren; one brother, Linus Spaulding of California, and five sisters, 
Mrs. Nettle Berry of Toledo, Ohio, Mrs. Fred Cowles of Battle Creek township, 
Mrs. L.G. Lapham, 73 Post avenue, and the Misses Mary and Emma Spaulding, of 
Emmet township.
Arrangements for the funeral services have not been completed.
Coroner Carl S. Gray was called to investigate the death and decided it was 
accidental and no inquest would be necessary.
