Mrs. Addie Ashworth Dead
Aged Woman of Carrington Expired in Her Bed - Was Widow of First Alton Agent at Village.
Mrs. Addie Ashworth, about 70 years old, was found dead in her bed at her home in Carrington just before noon Saturday, she being the third aged resident of the village to die within a space of 48 hours. She lived to herself in part of her residence and the remainder was occupied by a family named Patterson. Members of the family heard her at her stove during the early morning. The other old people of the village to die in less than two days were T.R. Brooks and Mrs. T.H. Wilkerson.
Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at the Carrington Baptist church, the Rev. W.G. Alcorn, of this city, officiating. Burial was in the church cemetery.
Mrs. Ashworth was a daughter of Charles Meng, a Callaway pioneer who lived near Holt Summit, where she was born. Her husband, the late M.P. Ashworth, was agent for the Chicago and Alton railroad at Carrington from the time the road was build until his death in 1906. Two sons, Meng, agent of the Alton and Marshall, this state, and Oren, claim agent of the Alton at Bloomington, Ill., are living. Two step-sons also are living, they being Ivan, a hotel man living at Moberly, and Burnham, of Montana.
Mrs. Ashworth was a member of the Boydsville Christian church. She was a woman of many fine virtues and was universally loved in the section in which she lived. The Gazette, with other friends, sympathize with those who mourn her death.
