From the April 16, 1925 issue of the Illinoian Star newspaper, Beardstown, Illinois: Mrs. Edward H. Stuke passed away last night at her home, 1407 Jefferson street after a short illness. She first became ill with influenza which later developed into pneumonia and affected her heart. Because of her strong constitution she had been able to pass the crisis in both these diseases but complications set in which she was unable to overcome. She received the best treatment possible, two trained nurses being on duty all the time. A conference of doctors was held Tuesday night. Mrs. Stuke was unable to receive any rest from her suffering and she gradually grew weaker until last night when she passed away peacefully at 5:30 o'clock.
