This may not be the correct one, but from the "Weekly Gazette & Stockman"
newspaper dated Dec. 08, 1892, p.8, col. 2 and "Weekly Nevada State Journal"
dated Dec. 12, 1892, p. 2, col. 6, and other dates:
"Sudden Death at Carson."
"At a quarter to one o'clock today, Mrs. C. E. Gates, mother of Mrs. R. M.
Clarke, Mrs. George G. Lyon, Mrs. Stella Webster and Mr. James H. Kinkead, dropped dead at
the residence of her son-in-law, Gen. R. M. Clarke, of a second stroke of paralysis.
Four years ago the lady was stricken with the disease, since which time she has been an
almost confirmed invalid, being confined to her bed a greater part of the time. To-day
she was up and around when the second stroke shut out the spark of life. The deceased
lady has been a resident of Carson [City] for over twenty-five years and was greatly
esteemed in the community. She was a native of Lancaster, Ohio, and aged 70 years. The
announcement of the funeral will appear in our next issue. --Carson Tribune."
