V. Marshall Law
Dr. Law Dead
An Episcopal Minister, formerly of Walla Walla, Dies in Texas
Rev. V. Marshall Law, formerly rector of the Episcopal church at Walla Walla and well known in Pendleton where he frequently held services, died in Clarendon, Texas, a few days ago. Rev. Victor Marshall Law was called to Clarendon, Tex., by the bishop of that diocese and started on his work a few weeks ago. His family left the home in Oakland, where Dr. Law has been stationed for several years, to remain in San Francisco until arrangements were made to join the head of the family at Clarendon.
On April 20 Mrs. Law received a telegram stating that her husband had been stricken with paralysis, and on the following Sunday left for his bedside.
During the last week daily telegrams informed the family of the patient’s condition. Each day the news was more encouraging, until Friday, when a change for the wore was noted. Early Saturday morning Mrs. Law telegraphed to her relatives the news of her husband’s death. Mr. Law was stricken with paralysis about eighteen months ago, but the stroke was of short duration, and after his arrival in Clarendon he wrote that he had entirely recovered.
Deceased was a graduate of Cornell College and also of the Hahnemann Medical College of Chicago. Mrs. Law was at her husband’s bedside when he passed away, having arrived in Clarendon two days before his death. She immediately left for San Francisco with the body and will arrive here on Tuesday.
