Mrs. Matte l.. Hoyt, wife Of Doctor
r. w. Hoyt, acen q years, 4 months
and s days, after u long and painful
illness OF eight weeks. She had
only been bride ten weeks when
she was taken suddenly i'll with
bilious collie which turned to intia-
nation Of the bowels. After two
weeks illness the inflammation began
to subside, and it was hoped by her
friends that she was convalescing.
She enjoyed one days respite from
pain and suffering, when the intia-
nation again increased and after
wards her days and nights were fill
ed with suffcrings, how intense, none
can tell. She was lady possessed
of great fortitude, and tried to con
zeal her suffering from her sorrow
ing friends, and would frequently
speak words Of encouragement to
them wien their spirits were cast
down. Every means that could be
devised for her relief, was resorted
to by Doctors Berry and Hoyt, and
through their skill, and careful nurs-
irg, hy her mother, the brittle
thread Of her cxistance was held to-
gcthor, until the means used became
powcriess to strengthen or stimulate
and she had become very much ema-
ciated. She had a strong desire to
oct well. Her friends were very
dear to her and she could not think
Of parting with them. She was ro-
bed in her beautiful wedding gar
ments, and on the seventh her hus-
band and parents started for Burr
Oak Iowa with her remains for in
terment in the Burr Oak cemetry.
