/ Death Of Ms. james L. Barke.-No |
event ever occurred in this community
which created more public sorrow than
the sudden death Of this most estimable

in the full enjoyment of her usual good
healthiwept to church as usual that fore

husband and family, and retired at night

During the night, however, she was
taken seriously i'll, physicians were
called in, but despite all their efforts to
arrest hemorrhage, she continued to
rapidly, and died at 3 o'clock Mon
day afternoon.
Notwithstanding the inc element wea-

friends attended the funeral from the
Catholic Church at 10 A. NJ, Tuesday.
