Sterling, one of Crisfield's oldest and most beloved citizens, passed away at her home on upper Main Street Wednesday afternoon. Her death was the result of a heart attack. The deceased, who had been an invalid for a number of years, was sitting in her rocking chair by the stove, when the attack came. Her chair tipped over onto the stove and caught fire, burning her body in several places but she was dead before her body hit the stove. Mrs. Sterling was 90 years old last in July and was the daughter of the late James and Charlotta Tawes, and was the last, of the original branch of the Tawes family. Her parents were pioneers in this territory and were among the very first settlers in this community. They came here and resided at Somers' Cove some time before the name "Crisfield" was acquired. She was a sister to the late J. P. Tawes, N. W. Tawes and O. C. Tawes, all prominent in the recent history of this city as were her parents prominent in its early history. Though ill health and advanced age had kept her inactive for a number of years, she was still counted as one of the leading members of the Immanuel M. E. Church. She was a kind, gentle, old lady who during her ninety years of life made innumerable friends who loved her dearly and who are sincerely grieved at her passing. Surviving Mrs. Tawes are two children, Arthur Sterling and Miss Charlotte Sterling, both of this city. Funeral services over the remains will be held at the Asbury M. E. Church, this afternoon (Friday) at 2:00 o'clock. Rev. J. T. Rowlenson, pastor of that church, will conduct the services and he will be assisted by Rev. J. R. Bicking, pastor of the Immanuel M. E. Church, of which she was a member. She will be buried in the Asbury cemetery. The Crisfield Times, Crisfield, Maryland, Friday, December 17, 1937
