THE MARYVILLE RECORD March 18, 1904
Friday, March 18, 1904



Little Jean, daughter of William Willard, was found dead in the chicken house

where she had gone to hunt eggs Monday evening. Her mother did not miss her at

once and when search was made she was found stiff in death. According to all

indications she died from a stroke of apoplexy, without a particle of pain or

suffering. She had been in poor health since infancy but recently had appeared

to be thriving better. Her mother was almost frantic with grief and neighbors

soon gathered the little body into their arms and carried it into the house.

Mr. Willard had gone to Knoxville that morning to be gone all week. He was

notified by telephone and came home at once. As soon as the body was found a

doctor was called, but he could do nothing as death had taken place at least

half hour before his arrival. The child had been subject to light paralytic

strokes for some time but not much was thought of it. Funeral services were

conducted Tuesday afternoon and the remains laid to rest in the Magnolia

Cemetery.
