MRS. JOS. PAGIN HEART VICTIM

Highly Respected Lady, Wife of Third ward Alderman, Found Dead by Husband Sitting in Chair on Return From Work

The sudden death of Mrs. Joseph Pagin, of 923 Hickory street yesterday afternoon comes as a great shock to many friends, and especially to her husband, Alderman Pagin, who when he took his departure for the National Printing and Engraving plant after dinner yesterday to return to work left her apparently in her usual health and making plans for her work for the afternoon.

Mr. Pagin came home about 5:30 o'clock, and found his wife sitting in a chair dead, with her head upon a table.

Dr. Ullery believed that she had been dead about three hours.

Mrs. Pagin had done up her housework for the afternoon and on the kitchen table was a cake mixture. She had evidently started to make a cake when she was stricken with heart disease and had died apparently without a struggle.

Mrs. Pagin had for years been in ill health, and the physicians had warned the family that she might be thus stricken but she had been in comparatively good health of late.

Mrs. Pagin was 56 years of age. She was born on the old Bretschneider farm north of the city. Her maiden name was Ione Clark. She was married to Mr. Pagin in Niles in 1881. Two sons were born to them, who with the husband survive their mother. The sons are Harry Pagin of Grand Rapids and Albert Pagin of Michigan City. Besides the husband and sons, there are six grandchildren also her Mother, Mrs. Edna Clark of Chicago, three brothers, William and Dick of Chicago, Albert of Michigan City, and four sisters, Mrs. Otis Mikles, Kalamazoo, Mrs. Chas Higby, St. Joseph, Mrs. George Brewer and Mrs. Wm. Squint, South Bend. Mrs. Jane Brown of Niles is an aunt of the deceased, Mrs. Jane Manning and Mrs. George Foster are cousins and there are several other relatives in this vicinity.

Mrs. Pagin was highly esteemed and many friends mourn her untimely death.

The funeral services will be held Friday afternoon.

Harry Pagin, one of the sons of the deceased, was operated upon las Saturday, but it was thought by Fred Bither, to whom the word of his mother's death was sent, instead of tot he son on account of his condition, that the operation was not so serious but that the son would be able to come to Niles.

Edna Buck, the five-year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Buck, died last evening about 9 o'clock at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Mell on Silver Brook avenue, as the result of internal injuries sustained by a fall from a shed while at play last Monday afternoon.

The circumstances surrounding the death are peculiarly sad.

The little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mell has been ill for a few days, and yesterday her illness was diagnosed as scarlet fever, and the home was placed under quarantine. Friends and relatives of Mr. and Mrs. Mell are unable to attend them during the hour of sorrow and anxiety which has come upon them.
