Died at Walnut Station March 5th
Mrs. Matte Il. Hoyt, wife of Doctor
R.,W. Hoyt, asen2f years, Z months
and 8 days, aftcr,a long and painful
illness of eight weeks. She had
only been bride ten weeks when
she was taken suddenly ill with
bilious collie which turned to infia-
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 infla-
nation again increased and after
wards her days and nights were fill
ed with sufferings, 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 when 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-
ling, by her mother, the brittle
thread of her existance was held to-
gcther, until the means used became
powerless to strengthen or stimulate
and she had become very much ema-
ciated. She had strong desire to
get 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.
1t must have been very trying to the
Doctor, who such short time be-
fore travelled the same route with his
happy bride on their wedding tour.
Her friends have the sympathy of
the whole community.
/ Is. NJ. Knight had twelve head of
cattle burned to death in the fire OF
March Sd, and his son, Augustus
Knight, came near being burned to
death. He went into the stable to
drive out a COW and by some means
the stable door got closed on him
leaving him in the dark, the stable
being full of smoke. He got con
fused and could not find the doc,
but happened to run against a COW
and having a pitchfork in his hand
he struck her with it, and, fortunate
lily for him, she jumped against a
door and knocked it open and I'M
mediately after he got out of the
stable the burning roof fell in.
Mr.. Andrew Ledenburgh, one of
the sufferers from the same fire, re
ceived the sympathy of his neigh
Ibours in the following manner
Eighteen of them met next day and
built him stable, and thee or foul
gave him each ten bushels Of wheat
This is what we call genuine spmpa-
thy.
