Friends and neighbors of the Pallister family of West Lake creek were both surprised and shocked to learn of the death of Mrs. Tom Pallister last Saturday evening. Mrs. Pallister was stricken suddenly and her husband and a neighbor, Bill DeGraw, had started to bring her a doctor in Eagle, when she died in Mr. Pallister's arms before they had more than got started. The physicians pronounced the cause of her death to be heart trouble.
Ella Lillian Tourville was born on June 25, 1882, at Tennessee Pass, and died at her home on West Lake creek in Eagle county, Saturday evening, September 5, 1936, at the age of 54 years, 2 months and 19 days.
