Wife of Local Postmaster Passes Away at Hospital Early This Morning - Health Had Been Failing for Many Years.
Mrs. Cora Rose Watrous, wife of Postmaster George H. Watrous, died at a local hospital at 7:15 this morning, after a useful life in charity, fraternal and church circles. Although in ill health for years, she had been confined to the hospital for only two days and her death was unexpected by her immediate family, every member of which was present at her death. Her feeble health never prevented her from carrying on her work in the three fields mentioned and she has been active in them during her entire resident on Bellingham bay, which dates from September, 1890. She was a member of the Pythian Sisters on the south side and attended St. James Presbyterian church, where she was one of the most valued members of the Laides' Aid society.
Mrs. Watrous was born in Bath, N. Y., fifty-four years ago and came to this city from Naples, N. Y., where Mr. Watrous was for some time assistant postmaster. She is survived by her husband, one son, Willis H. Watrous, two daughters, Mrs. Mary F. Herrold and Miss Genie I. Watrous, all of this city; by one sister, Mrs. Ida A. Edward, of South Bellingham, now visiting in California, and one brother, John S. Buck, of Naples, N. Y. The funeral announcements will be made by Harry O. Bingham.
