From the "MORENCI OBSERVER" of June 27, 1903.
On Tuesday afternoon, while preparing to attend a funeral (that of
Willis E. Clark) it was the fate of Mrs. Seymour B. Treadwell, residing
three miles northeast of Morenci, to herself pass from life and be
mourned by friends and relatives. Such is life-and death! The peculiar
coincidence-the shocking sadness of her passing away,-made a profound
impression on the community and occasioned much sorrow. Mr. Treadwell
had gone to the barn to get the horse in readiness for coming to Morenci.
Upon re-entering the house he heard some peculiar sounds, as of distress,
and on investigating was horrified to find his wife prostrate upon
the floor in the pantry, and the only word he could clearly hear articulate
was "camphor." He gave the alarm at his daughter's home
nearby, and Dr. T. C. Ewart was summoned. No medical aid could save
her, and in a couple of hours she breathed her last, apoplexy being
the immediate cause of her death. Mrs. Treadwell had been in her usual
good health, but it appears she had gone into the pantry for a remedy
on account of some indisposition at the time.
