Irwin Dies From Sudden Heart Attack In Her Apartment The body of Mrs. Minnie A. Irwin aged 68 years, was found at the foot of the stairway leading to the second floor apartment of her home 415 South Star street, about 9:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon by the police, after they were called to the place when no sign of life had been seen about the aged woman's quarters for a couple of days. Dr. G. G. Whitley, of Douglass, county coroner was called immediately and last evening he determined Mrs. Irwin had died from a sudden heart attack. The body was removed to the Byrd Funeral Home. Sheriff Tom Turner also aided with the investigation. About 10:30 o'clock Tuesday morning, a loud noise was heard in Mrs. Irwin's apartment by other occupants at the residence. It is believed it was made when she fell downstairs. A pan partially filled with water was on a step about half way up the stairs. Mrs. Irwin had no water in her apartment and carried it from a bucket at the foot of the stairway. It is believed she suffered the heart attack on her return to her apartment. A rung was missing from the stairway railing. It is believed she grabbed it when she started to fall to steady herself. The only mark on the woman's body was a light abrasion over the right eye and it was not swollen. Crawl Through Window The body was found by Patrolman Glenn Clopton. He and Ed Smith an employee of the city went to the residence after the report was received that no activity had been seen about Mrs. Irwin's apartment. The outside doors were locked and Officer Clopton had to crawl through a window to gain admittance to the place. A fire was burning in a gas stove in the kitchen and a package of soda was on the cabinet ledge. There was also an empty glass with a spoon in it, on a table near the bed of Mrs. Irwin. It was thought she had taken some soda early Tuesday or Monday night believing she had some stomach pains when in fact her heart was troubling her. Mrs. Irwin wore her night clothes when found. Mrs. Irwin was born on December 18, 1878 in Indiana. She had lived in this area since she was seven years old. She was married to W. H. Irwin here on September 3, 1899. he died on January 16, 1931. Mrs. Irwin was a member of the Christian Church. Mrs. Irwin is survived by a son, William Harold Irwin of Wichita; and a brother, George W. Fox of Anderson, Ind.
