Mrs. D. G. Stover Dies in Fire as Her Home Burns Mrs. Nancy Williams Stover, 81, a pioneer in thie area, died from suffocation and burns Tuesday morning when fire destroyed her home on South Third and Walnut Streets in Albany. The blazing home was discovered about 4:00 a.m. by neighbors, Harold Davis and Leroy Stilwell, who turned in the alarm. Fireboys fought smoke and heat to find Mrs. Stover and get her out.. She was dead from suffocation and burns when carried out. Mrs. Stover's brother, J. H. Williams, who lived with her, was carried out a window, and was suffering from smoke and was hospitalized. The house was a complete loss. Funeral services were held at 10:00 a.m. Wednesday at the Matthews Memorial Presbyterian Church, with the pastor, Rev. J. A. Owen, officiating. Burial was in the family plot in the Albany Cemetery under the direction of Wylie Funeral Home. Mrs. Stover was born at Georgetown Oct. 20, 1875, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Williams Sr. and came to Crystal Falls, in Stephens County, with her parents when three years of age. She married May 16, 1900, at the home of her parents, to David Gaines Stover, a Stephens County rancher. They lived at Crystal Falls unil 1918, when the family moved to Albany to live. Mr. Stover died in April, 1938. Mrs. Stover was one of this area's staunch old pioneers, familiar with the privations of the early ranch life. She was a member of the Presbyterian Church.
