Dies Suddenly
Body of Evergreen Woman Found on FloorEvergreen, Ala., Nov. 23--James J. Spence, of Evergreen, was very much shocked Wednesday at noon when he arrived for his dinner to find Mrs. Spence dead on the floor at their home at Knoxville, a suburb, in the limits of the town.
On leaving home that morning Mrs. Spence showed no signs of illness and went about her usual household duties. A physician was called and the body examined, but there could be found no trace of anything leading to her sudden death. It is supposed that she must have had an organic heart trouble of which she was not aware.
Deceased is survived by her husband, James J. Spence, and two small children, the youngest of which is only six months old. She was a very young woman, being only 20 at the time of her death.
Services were held Thursday and interment was made in Evergreen cemetery about 10 o'clock.
