Stanton. Tex., Oct 16 - K H Worley and wife arrived at this city and stopped at the Palace hotel. Immediately after going to their room Mrs. Worley called for water. Shortly she complained of feeling cold and within a few minutes was seized with convulsions and expired.
A note was found on the back of a letter she was writing to her son. The note read: "Forgive me, pa: I am tired of living." Justice Black after viewing the remains and securing the testimony returned a verdict that her death was due to some kind of poison taken with suicidal intent.

Today the 12th is being buried at the city cemetery G W Worley, one of our oldest and most respected engineers on the Cotton Belt railway. He has suffered for some time with a chronic ailment and died on the 10 ? at Mineral Wells, to which place he had gone hoping to regain health. He leaves a helpless little family of five children and a heart broken wife, who is in delicate health. He has many friends among his railroad people as well as citizens. He was a K of P and an Odd Fellow as well as a B of L E so we hope his family will be cared for.
Lady Clara is buried in Oakland Cemetery in Dallas Texas. She died of stomach cancer in Dallas. Booklet printed for her funeral says she was born in Nashville, TN; her death certificate shows her birthplace as Memphis. She lived in Dallas since 1915, according to her death certificate.
