Aged Woman Killed In Fall
Mrs. Emma Arbuthnot, 77, Trips On Stairs
A fall down stairs from the second floor of the residence to the first, proved fatal this morning at 7:30 to Mrs. Emma Schott Arbuthnot, 77.
Miss Sarah Evans, 82, a sister, who in recent years had lived with Mrs. Arbuthnot at the home on Milton road, had called her for breakfast a short time before the accident. Miss Evans said her sister seemed to have fallen head first down the stairway. Her head was cut, apparently from the edge of a step. Mrs. Arbuthnot was dead when the sister reached her.
Mrs. Arbuthnot had been a very active woman and devoted much of her time to the fruit and vegetable stand she and her son, Henry Schott, conducted on Milton road on part of the land that for over a half century had been a part of the Schott farm. She had resided in her present home fifty-one years and had lived to see the neighborhood between Brown street and Upper Alton and the cut-off track at East Alton turn from farm land into city homes. Mrs. Arbuthnot was a member of Milton Heights Baptist Church.
Mrs. Arbuthnot's first husband, the late Henry Schott, died in 1903 at the Milton Road home. Surviving is one son, Henry Schott, and three step-children, Mrs. Alice Van Etten of Easton, Ill., Mrs. Emma Phillips, of Glendale, Calif., and Albert Schott, of 3407 Franor street, Alton. In 1921 [1920], Mrs. Schott was married to Samuel Arbuthnot, who died in 1922. Arbuthnot's first wife, who had died sometime before, was Mrs. Schott Arbuthnot's sister.
A daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. William Evans of the Moro vicinity, Mrs. Arbuthnot was one of a family of four sisters. The late Mrs. John Phayer, of College avenue, and Mrs. Samuel Arbuthnot were her sisters. The surviving sister is Miss Sarah Evans who resided at the Schott place.
The original Schott farm on Milton road consisted of 40 acres, part of the land on the east side of the road. That part has long since been built up with homes. A deal recently had been under way for purchase of the remaining Schott land on the west side of the road by a lumber company, which planned to develop the tract into sites for new houses. This deal is still incomplete.
Funeral services will be conducted Monday at 3:30 p.m. in Streeper funeral home and burial will be in Oakwood Cemetery. Friends may call at the funeral home after 5 p.m. Sunday.
