She had been in usual health and during the day had made no complaint, but after retiring at night was feeling badly and took a tablet to relieve the disturbance of her stomach. She continued to grow worse and in a short time was attacked with convulsions. Physicians were summoned, but to no avail, and her suffering was soon relieved by the Angel of Death. her husband was notified and went down on the night train, returning with the body Saturday morning, which was taken to her father's house.
