Further
particulars of the sudden death of Mrs. Jennie A. Steinhoff, sister of
John Allgeo, Colborne street, which occurred on Sunday, March 1, at
her winter home in Delroy, Fla., have been received this week.
Mrs. Steinhoff and her husband had been spending the winter in
Florida, going there from Detroit, where they make their home in the
summer. Mrs. Steinhoff had been in her usual health and that day had
been bathing with others of the party.
Sunday evening she became ill and complained of pains in her arms.
A physician in attendance pronounced her case as an attack of acute
indigestion. Towards midnight she felt better and suggested that her
husband retire for some rest. He had scarcely left the room when she
was heard to gasp and she passed away before further aid could be
administered.
The deceased lady leaves two sons, both married and living in
Detroit. She was predeceased by the several members of a large
family, Mr. Allgeo being the only member of the family now living.
The body was taken to Detroit for burial.
Mrs. Steinhoff will be remembered here by many of the members of
St. James Methodist church as Jennie Allgeo. As a young woman she
taught Sunday School class in connection with that church.
