THE HENRY BULLETIN, Martinsville, Va., Fri., Jan. 13, 1922, p. 1, col. 2 [edited].
A death of unusual sadness was that of Mrs. Frank Stafford, wife
of Dr. Frank Stafford of the Blue Ridge Sanatorium, but whose paternal home is at Thessalia, Va. On Christmas Day after an illness of a few hours, Mrs. Stafford died at the Sanatorium. It is said that Mrs. Stafford complained of a headache, and it is supposed she made a mistake and took a poison tablet, thinking at the time she was taking a headache tablet.
Before marriage, Mrs. Stafford was Miss Pedigo, a trained nurse of Catawba Sanatorium, if we have been correctly informed she served as a red Cross Nurse over seas in the Late World War. She leaves a baby a few months old. The remains were brought to Giles Co., and interred in the cemetery at Thessalia.
For nearly two years Mrs. Stafford was Supt. of the Lucy Lester Gen. Hospital, Martinsville, Va., and has many friends there who will, with deep regret be sorry to learn of her death. Wife of Frank Buchannan Stafford
