McMATH Lake County Bee, April 13, 1927 Deep sorrow prevailed throughout the valley Thursday when the sad word rapidly spread of the death of Mrs. Ernest McMath, at her home in Bachelor Valley at 10:30 o'clock Wednesday night with Ludwig's angina, accompianied by diphtheria, after a short illness of 72 hours. Mrs. McMath was in town Monday afternoon seemingly in good health, but on arriving home in the evening complained of not feeling well. Tuesday morning a bad case of tonsillitis had developed, in illness which Mr.(?) McMath was subject to. Dr. Newcombe was called, but Wednesday morning her condition became serious and the throat was lanced, but the patient rapidly became worse. Dr. Chas. Craig was called in the evening to assist the local doctor to operate on the throat, but before either doctor arrived death had relieved her of her intense sufferings. The death came as a terrible blow to the loved ones and to the wide circle of people Mrs. McMath claimed as her friends, won by her cheerful disposition and whose countenance ever wore a happy smile. Among her family and friends in sickness and in sorrow, she was first to render aid and comfort, many homes gladly welcomed her cheerful presence and none hesitated to call on her when in distress. A home is made desolate and loved ones are inconsolable in their grief, deepened by the fact that those to whom she so willingly gave of her time and care, cannot now return her many kindnesses by comforting her dear ones left to mourn by nature of the dreadful disease that so ruthlessly cut down a young life in its usefulness and prime. Before the returns from the culture sent to the State laboratory in Berkeley, taken at time of her death were received, every precaution was resorted to by Dr. Newcombe and by the undertakers, in preparing the body for burial, which was placed in a sealed metallic casket as soon as obtainable and all forms of disinfection used to safeguard the public. Her illness at no time was attributed to diphtheria but explanatory remarks by Dr. Newcombe clearly indicated diphtheria germs developing at time of death. Mrs. McMath's illness came while administering one of her last acts of kindness in caring for Mrs. Maude Hasting, also of Bachelor Valley, who has been quite ill with a severe attack of tonsillitis, and whose heart is now filled with sorrow. Miss Della Harrow was born in Leland, Idaho, April 12, 1892, making her age 34 years, 11 months and 24 days. With her parents she came to California when still a child, settling first in Middle creek, then in Bachelor Valley and later in Santa Rosa, where in 1913, she was married to Ernest McMath, the only child of Robert McMath of Bachelor Valley. For a while the young couple lived in Santa Rosa, later returning to Bachelor Valley where they since have made their home. In 1918 a daughter Marjorie was born to this union. Intense devotion to her family was a noticeable trait in her character and the bereaved husband and other relatives will sorely miss this devotion and the staff on whom they leaned. Making little children happy was another strong feature in her otherwise useful life and long will her memory linger in the hearts of the little ones of the valley as well as with the many older friends. Words seem void and lacking when expressing the sympathy felt by the community for the grief-stricken family left to mourn alone in their irretrievable loss. Mrs. McMath was the daughter of Mrs. W. T. Smith. Interment was privately made in the Upper Lake Cemetery Sunday afternoon from the residence and the many beautiful floral offerings were mute expressions of sympathy from the public who were unable to pay their last respects to a dear departed friend.
