Found Dead in Bed.
Special to Daily Herald. Arlington, Nov. 4—I. C. PETERSON, of this
place, was found dead in his bed Friday morning. Death is believed to
have resulted from heart disease. He had been in usual health, with the
exception of a slight attack of grippe, but had been out every day. He
was nearly seventy years old and had lived in Arlington since 1892. He
leaves a wife and two daughters, and five sons, all married but one. “Bill” Dies after 17 Years of Service.
“Bill,” the most ancient and honorable equine member of the Everett
fire department, is dead, after seventeen years of valuable and valued
service. “Bill,” beloved by Chief TARO’s men, was taken out on a
festive occasion Saturday afternoon, to gather greenery near Pinehurst.
He reared and his head struck the wagon’s tire. Death ensured in a few
minutes.
“Bill” had been a member of the fire department since 1901. Usually he
was used on the hose wagon, but the advent of the automobile engine and
hose car relegated “Bill” to the rear ranks, and he was turned over to
the street department in his ripe old age to go about the avenues of
Everett collecting refuse.
There is not a man on the department from Chief TARO down, who is not
sorrowing because of “Old Bill’s” sudden demise.
Sedro-Woolley—Mrs. Paul Von PRESSENTIN,
who died suddenly in Marblemount the first of the week, was buried here
Saturday. She leaves a husband and five children, the oldest a girl of
12 and the youngest a new-born baby. Mrs. PRESSENTIN was 32 years old
and the daughter of J. R. STIFFLER of Duncan’s Spur. A large number of
friends from Marblemount and Rockport accompanied the remains to this
city.
Wednesday, November 6, 1912 Death Closes Acme—There will be no performance at the Acme theater either tonight or tomorrow, for sadness has fallen upon the popular little play house. This morning at an early hour, Mrs. Victoria FLETCHER, mother of Mrs. Charles ROYAL, of the Acme company, died. Mrs. FLETCHER has lived in Everett several years and has many friends in the city. No arrangements have been made for the funeral, as relatives are waiting to hear from members of the family now in the East. Thursday, November 7, 1912 Mrs. Victoria FLETCHER, mother of Mrs. Charles ROYAL, was buried this afternoon from JERREAD’s chapel, interment taking place in Evergreen cemetery. Daniel McGILLIS, aged 80, who died at Providence hospital Saturday from general break-down induced by advanced age, will be buried at 9 a.m. tomorrow from the Riverside Catholic church. Rev. A. H. COOKE Dies This Morning—Mental Collapse is Fatal to the Former Pastor of Everett Churches. Rev. A. H. COOKE, former pastor of the Hopkins Memorial and North Broadway M. E. churches in Everett, died this morning in the state hospital for the insane in Steilacoom. Arrangements have been made by the members of that denomination in this city to hold a memorial service at the First M. E. church this evening at 8 o’clock. Rev. Mr. COOKE was unmarried, and came here two years ago to assume charge of the two young churches. He worked hard—too hard—and then threw himself into the local option campaign with a vim that burned up his never abundant nervous vitality. A collapse followed and he was taken to a hospital and then committed to the state hospital. Saturday, November 9, 1912 Suicide Note is Found by Woman in G. N. Station. Indicates that One “Stephen DAY” Intends to End His Life. Points out Man to an Officer; He Disappears. Has Stephen DAY killed himself? Who is Stephen DAY? Who knows Stephen DAY? Last night a woman in the waiting room of the Great Northern station found a note; it had been written by Stephen DAY. He said he intended killing himself. The woman called for an officer who chanced to be in the waiting room. She pointed out the man who had penned the farewell lines and handed the officer Stephen DAY’s communication. A search was made for the man, but he had vanished. Here is the letter that has found its way into the keeping of the city detective department: “At 5 p.m., Nov. 8, 1912. I will leave these few lines here in a America. I ham going to put myself out of this world. I ham a modern woodman and joined at South Dakota a few months ago and they can bury me. I am down-hearted and I haint got no job, so these last words I say. I have ben a soldier in the state milisha national guard. So good-bye for it is my doom. “Name, Stephen DAY. My home in Zimmerman, Minn., P. O. box 11. Mother, Mrs. W. H. DAY. Father, William DAY. Well I have gone from the earth, good-bye.” Apparently the writer of the disconnected note intended to walk out upon the platform and jump in front of a train, at least the woman in the waiting room thought that to be his intention; but “Stephen DAY” did not die under a train last night in Everett. The police know nothing about the odd case aside from the report rendered by the Great Northern detective. Tuesday, November 12, 1912 The funeral of the late Rev. A. H. COOKE, former pastor of the North Broadway and Hopkins Memorial M. E. churches in this city, took place yesterday at Grays Harbor, where a sister resides.

The funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon at the home at 2 o’clock, Rev. O. H. KING officiating. Interment will be in the Sultan cemetery. Wednesday, November 13, 1912 Japanese Boy and Woman Are Killed by Train. A Japanese woman and a Japanese boy were killed late yesterday afternoon by a Great Northern southbound passenger train near Mukilteo. The bodies arrived in Everett yesterday and are at JERREAD’s morgue. The woman, Mrs. SHIHO, 26 years of age, accompanied by I. TOHOGAKI, a 14-year-old boy, were walking on the railroad track. They saw the train approaching about the curve, but apparently fancied themselves safe on the unoccupied track. When the passenger locomotive plunged toward them the unfortunate woman and the boy perceived, though too late, that they stood directly in the path of the rushing train. They were hurled from the roadbed and badly mangled. Mrs. SHIHO’s husband is employed by the Crown Lumber company at Mukilteo, and the boy’s father is also a workman for the big lumber concern. A delegation of Japanese from Mukilteo came to Everett this morning to make arrangements for taking the remains of the woman and the boy to Seattle this afternoon for cremation. W. L. FOUTS Dead at 93. Bellingham, Nov. 13—After a short illness death came yesterday to W. L. FOUTS, 93 years old, one of the few remaining pioneers of this community.

Then he engaged in the wholesale feed business, which he gave up three years ago because of illness.

A man thought to be a resident of Seattle was found dead this morning in a room of the Western lodging house at 1122 Hewitt avenue.
