Joseph, Wallowa County, Oregon
Mrs. Addie Schaupp wife of Arthur Schaupp of Joseph died Tuesday night June 17, 1919 at St. Vincent hospital in Portland.
Her death came as a great shock to her friends here as she had gone with Mr. Schaupp to Portland on a pleasure trip a week ago Monday. They went to take in the Rose Festival and to enjoy a vacation.
Thursday evening Mrs. Schaupp was taken ill and her condition quickly grew so serious that she was removed to the hospital where and operation was performed. This failed to afford relief and on Tuesday a telegram was sent to her parents Mr. and Mrs. Lou Knapper advising them that she was sinking and her recovery was considered hopeless. They left for Portland that afternoon with two daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Schaupp but did not reach the city until the morning after she passed away.
