SUDDEN DEATH OF NEVADA WOMAN
MRS. OLIVE HULSE FOUND DEAD BY SON EARLY THURSDAY MORNING.
Mrs. Olive Hulse, 75, was found dead in her bed at her home corner Fourth and Avenue N at 5:30 Thursday morning by her son, Wallace B. Hulse, her very sudden death being ascribed to a collapse of the heart.
There have been some conflicting reports as to the causes contributing to her death. The facts as reported from the home are that she had been in her usual health and had been down town Wednesday afternoon.
The son was awakened by a noise in her room at shortly after five o'clock in the morning and noticed the odor of gas in his room the door of which was closed. He called to the mother of the odor of gas but receiving no response got up and going through the kitchen found a burner of the gas stove turned on but not lighted, and the gas escaping and the house filled.
Hastening to the room of his mother through an intervening room, he found her lying across her bed still in her night clothes but with indications that she had been up. Death was apparent but he hastily called a physician who after making an examination said that death was due to heart failure, which owing to the condition of her health might have been hastened by the gas. Mrs. Hulse was a sufferer from a goitre as well as from high blood pressure.
The gas pressure had been off Wednesday afternoon and until probably midnight. It is possible that the burner might have been left turned on when the pressure went off, and with the return of the pressure during the night the gas was free to escape.
Another theory is that Mrs. Hulse got up in the morning and going out to light the gas failed to do so and returning to her room, was suddenly stricken ill and expired.
The funeral services will be held at 2:00 Saturday afternoon from the home with Rev. Lafe Hoff of the Christian church in charge. Interment will be in the Nevada cemetery by the side of her husband, the late H. K. Hulse, Civil war veteran, who passed away a number of years ago.
Mrs. Hulse leaves one son, Wallace B. Hulse, well known carpenter of the city. She is the last of three sisters, wives of Civil war veterans who had lived in the city for many years.
