MRS. ED. HOFFER DEAD.
She Died From a Paralytic Stroke Which She Received Tuesday.
Mrs. Anna Hoffer, wife of Ed. Hoffer, No. 127 South Congress street, died at her late home yesterday afternoon at 1:15 o'clock. Her death is a very sad and sudden one, and is the result of a paralytic stroke which she suffered yesterday afternoon. For some time past she has been enjoying her usual good health, and not until about 2:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon did she experience any change. She was standing in the door at the time she was stricken. She caught hold of the door casing with one hand, the other being paralyzed, and remained there until assisted by her husband, whose attention she soon attracted. Medical assistance was soon called and later a consultation of physicians was held, and after a careful examination of her case it was the unanimous opinion of the physicians that her case was a hopeless one. Had the time of the stroke been deferred a few moments Mrs. Hoffer would have been at home alone, as her husband was preparing to come up to the city on an errand. This was the second stroke which she had received, the first one having been about thirty days ago. She was about forty years of age and leaves a husband, a daughter, Lula, who is about 14 years of age, two sisters, Mrs. Reeser and Mrs. Rule, both of Hartford, and two brothers, Messrs. William and James Dukes, of this city, and a large circle of friends, to mourn her death.
As yet the time for the funeral has not been definitely fixed, but it will probably be some time Saturday.
