ANGEL OF DEATH TAKES MOTHER AS CHILDREN WATCH
Four little ones found beside lifeless body in tiny home
Lying on two chairs in front of the kitchen stoves, Mrs. A. H. Zimney, S. 718 Grant St. was found dead at 7:00a.m. by Mrs. John G. Lake, S. 713 Grant St., wife of Rev. John G. Lake.
Mrs. Lake went to the Zimney home on the appeal of the oldest of four small children of the dead woman, a boy, aged 6. The children, ranging in age upward from one year were grouped around their dead mother, wide-eyed with wonder, not knowing what had happened. Please, my mama wont talk to us and I guess shes dead, the little boy appealed to Mrs. Lake. Mrs. Lake found the mother had died while making the fire. Father Had Gone According to reports made to police, the Zimney family moved to town from a ranch a few days before. The father, after getting the family settled, left Sunday night for some oil field, to seek employment. No trace of him had been found up to noon today. The children were taken by police to Spokane Childrens Home. Coroner Grieve pronounced the womans death, due to heart failure, but will make an autopsy.
