"EMILY SUESS DIED OF PNEUMONIA WHILE VISITING IN CARMEL

The body of Miss Emily Suess, aged 47, who died at Carmel, Monterey county, last Sunday night, has been brought to Stockton for burial.

Miss Suess, who was a sister of Mrs. G. Steiner, 2163 South San Joaquin street, Stockton, was employed by the family of Hugh Goodfellow, prominent San Francisco attorney for a number of years, residing in the Goodfellow home at 2727 Garber street, Berkeley.

With the family she was at Carmel on a vacation trip. Last Sunday Miss Suess spent the afternoon on the beach at Carmel. At about 7 o'clock in the evening she returned to the residence at which the Goodfellow family was stopping and retired to her room.

Some time later members of the family tried the door and then entered, finding the woman unconscious. They called a doctor, who revived her and ordered her into the care of a trained nurse. A short time later she suffered a relapse and had a hemorrhage from the mouth. She died several hours later. The doctor certified that she had died from tuberculosis and hemorrhage of the lungs.

Not satisfied with this, on account of the freedom of the family from such ailment and because of her sister's evident robust physique, Mrs. Steiner engaged Dr. J. Sterling Cochran to perform a post-mortem examination on removal of the body here. Dr. Cochran reports that he found, in his examination, no evidence of either hemorrhage or tuberculosis, although he found evidence of pneumonia.

Mr. and Mrs. Goodfellow came to Stockton Monday, according to Mrs. Steiner, and made arrangements for the funeral with B. C. Wallace. They notified the undertaker that they were prepared to pay funeral expenses for the woman and that they desired that she be buried in a manner that would be satisfactory to her relatives here."
