The Springfield Morning News
Mrs. Lemuel HOAK, one of the best known and most highly respected residents of 
Mad River township, died suddenly at the home of her son, N. O. HOAK, in 
Westville, Sunday morning at two o'clock. She had been suffering with a slight 
attack of the grippe for some days, but her condition was not regarded as at 
all serious and Saturday evening she was feeling somewhat improved and ate a 
rather hearty meal. After partaking of her supper she proceeded to perform 
some little services for her husband, who is 82 years old and quite infirm. 
She retired feeling no worse than usual, but shortly after midnight, Saturday 
night, she was seized with violent pains in the region of her heart. In a few 
moments the end had come and her sufferings were over, death coming quickly 
that the members of the household were scarcely able to reach her side before 
she passed away. Mrs. HOAK had been a resident of the village of Westville 
almost her entire life and with her husband formed the oldest couple in that 
village. She was born in DeGraff, Logan County, her maiden name being WALKER. 
When she was quite young she moved with her parents to Westville where she has 
since resided. At the time of her death she was 83 years of age and is 
survived by her husband and two children, the latter being Mrs. MCGUINNESS, of 
Iowa, and her son, N. O. HOAK, at whose home she died. Her husband is quite 
ill and is prostrated with grief, his condition being regarded as serious. The 
funeral will be held from the N. O. HOAK home Wednesday afternoon at 1:30. The 
burial will take place at Concord.
