Mrs. Motten had retired in her usual health on Wednesday evening and, according to the reports which reached Erie, was found dead in her bed on Thursday morning.
No word had at this writing reached Erie concerning funeral arrangements, but it is expected that the ceremonies will be held at Rye, the intention being when conditions, permit, to transport her remains to Colorado Springs, Colo., for final internment beside her late husband, whi predecded her in death in 1915.
Surviving the deceased are two sons, Charles, the elder, and Roger of Rye, N.Y.; a sister, Mrs. Chas. Spencer of West Ninth street; Mrs. Rose Spooner of West Seventh street, and Mrs. Anna Pratt, of Toronto, Canada.
Mrs. Motten was well and favourably known to many of the older residents of Erie, who will regret to learn of her death.
