Wade, Lavinia Contributed by BarbR
Dec 2018 |
The Intelligencer, Lexington, MO, March 22, 1890 Mrs. Lavinia Wade,
aged 77 years, mother of Mr. Abe Wade, of Higginsvllle,
was taken with an epileptic spell, at her home, near Hilton, Floyd county,
Virginia, Monday of last week, and fell into a large, old fashioned fireplace
and was burned to death. A widowed daughter had been in constant attendance
upon her for some time and rarely ever left her presence, but at the time of
the horrible accident, she had stepped into another room to attend to some
trivial matter. When she returned her mother was dead. |
Lavinia Phlegar Wade, widow of Owen Wade, d/o Abraham & Ann M. (Goodykoontz) Phelgar.
