ELIZA JANE VANALSTINE
SUDDEN DEATH
[Welland Tribune, 23 December 1898]
A terribly sudden death occurred in Crowland township yesterday, Dec. 22nd. Mrs. James W. Vanalstine had been subject to Bright’s disease, but for some time past was so well that she had discontinued treatment. Yesterday morning she arose in her usual health, and was about her household duties when, about 10 o’clock, she was taken ill and in less that half-an-hour she was a corpse. Dr. Glasgow was called, but Mrs. V. was dead before he arrived. His opinion is that the immediate cause of death was heart failure, caused by the kidney ailment. Deceased was 53 years of age. She was a native of Crowland, maiden name Cole. A husband and family of children survive to mourn their irreparable loss.
Died: 22 December 1898
