MRS. STOVALL DIES
———
Had Resided in Corvallis and
Philomath Since Coming to
Oregon 40 Years Ago
———
Mrs. Dollie Stovall, aged 69 years, wife of George S. Stovall, died suddenly at 4:30 o’clock this morning at the country home of the Stovalls near Philomath. While Mrs. Stovall had suffered from asthma for a number of years, her trouble was not considered serious. She awoke early this morning and called her husband and son to the bedside, complaining that she was not feeling well. After attention had been given, Mrs. Stovall appeared to be more comfortable and to fall asleep, but died peacefully and was found later by members of her family.
Mrs. Stovall was born in Mississippi November 12, 1859. While still very young she accompanied her parents to Dallas, Texas. She was married to George S. Stovall and came to Oregon about 40 years ago, the couple locating in Corvallis where the family resided for 15 years. Later they moved to the home at Philomath and had since resided in that vicinity.
Mrs. Stovall is survived by her husband, George S. Stovall, one daughter, Mrs. G.E. Breech, of Downey, Cal., who left here only last Friday to return home with Mr. Breech after spending several months at the Stovall home, and six sons. They are Dennis H. Stovall of South Pasadena, Cal., nationally known writer of boys’ stories and former prominent Benton county author and writer; Alva E., Goldfield, Nev.; Charles R., Rockaway; Dr. Lawrence S., Maupin; Frank R., Philomath; and John H., Condon. Another son, William B. Stovall, died March 24, of this year. A sister resides in Oklahoma.
Mrs. Stovall was for many years a member and active worker in the Christian church.
The remains are at the Kenney funeral home awaiting the arrival of the family. Funeral announcements will be made later.
