Local Woman Succumbs to Heart Attack

Passes Away After Operation For Goitre At Blodgett Hospital.

The many friends and neighbors of Mrs. Ernest Chase were shocked to learn of her
sudden death which occurred Thursday, July 7th at the Blodgett hospital, Grand
Rapids, where she underwent an operation for goitre.  Mrs. Chase had been in ill
health for some time being confined to her home since last fall and going to the
hospital about three and one-half weeks ago.

Doctors pronounced her condition excellent and she came out of the operation
apparently in fine shape, which was about 11 o’clock in the morning.  However,
owing to a weak heart, she succumbed to the attack in the evening at about seven
o’clock.  The internal goitre was of a serious nature although doctors held high
hopes for her recovery.  Her sudden turn for the worse, after the apparently
successful operation, was entirely unlooked for by those in attendance.

She had lived in this community all her life and was well known and highly
esteemed by all.  She was married to Ernest Chase in November, 1899 and have

18, the only child, surviving.  She was a member of the Pythian Sisters.

Funeral services were held at the home, 409 Ionia street at 2:30 Sunday
afternoon, in charge of Arthur J. Fitzjohn.  Rev. H. E. Curch officiated. 
Interment at the River Ridge cemetery.  The deceased leaves to mourn their loss,
besides the husband and daughter, a mother, Mrs. Charity Cobb, of this city.
