JOHN DIS WIFE DIES
MRS. ROCKEFELLER succuM5s
SUDDENLY AT HOME.
Husband and Son In Florida When
End came-Hurry Home on
Special Train.

New York, March 15.-Mrs John d.
Rockefeller, wife of the richest man
in the world, is dead. She passed
away Friday morning at 1880 at the
Rockefeller home at Pocantico Hills,
after an illness of several months. She
was seventy-six years old last Sep
tember.
Although Mrs. Rockefeller had been
an invalid for many months, 1t is I'M
derstood that her death came unex-
pectedly. Her husband and her son
were at 0rmond, Fla, and were adj
vised that Mrs. Rockefeller had taken
critical turn for the worse. Mr..
Rockefeller and his son Immediately
engaged special train. Mrs. r Par
malice Prentice, Mrs. Rockefeller's
daughter, and Miss Lucy Spelman,
her sister, were the only immediate
relatives present when she died.
Laura Celestia Spelman Rockefel-
Ter was born in Wadsworth, Ohio, of
well-to-do New England parents, on
September 8, 1899. She was her hus-
bands junior by two months. AS a
child she lived in Wadsworth, in Bur-
lington, Iowa, in Akron, Ohio, where
her father, Harvey B. Spelman.
achieved a competence in the dry
goods business, and later in Cleveland.
In the grammar school at Cleveland
she met John Rockefeller, when they
were fifteen years old.
Rock afo1iar was a country Inv She
was the daughter of one of Cleyeland's
leading citizens. His home was lit
tie farmhouse; hers, one of Cleve-
lands handsomest residences. Not
withstanding other differences, the
awkward youth and the city girl had
in common love of study and simple
tastes, and they became fast friends.
Young Rockefeller prospered be-
yond his fairest hopes. As soon as he
felt that he could ask her to become
his wife he did so. They were mar
ried September 8, 1864, the eve of her
twenty-ffth birthday, and started to
keep house in little two-story brick
residence on one of Clevelands side
streets. Upon her marriage she be-
came a Baptist, and to her religion
and her home she devoted her entire
time
The surviving children are Alta,
wife of E. Parmalee Prentice; Edith,
who married Harold Fowler McCor-
mick of Chicago, and John D. Rookie
