DIED OF AporLgxY.
Mrs. Loutsa Mnihtser, Afser Thirty
Minutes Iilnes@

Mrs. Louisa MillhIser, who resided al the
southeast corner OF Tenth and Marshall
streets, was stricken with apoplexy while at
the dinuer.tabie yesterday afternoon about 3
O'Clock and died thirty minutes later.
When she was first seized the members OF
her family feared that she had become
choked or stranguisted. but II soon became
evident that the cause OF her trouble was OF
more serious character, and this was con.
frmed by the several physicians who soon
arrived.
As soon rs Mrs. Millhiser was taken IN 4
messenger was dispatched for a physician.
The first 10 srriye was DR.. Parker, who
was closely followed by Dr. Cullen and
others. DR. Rust, the family physician. was
the last one 10 reach the house. Il was apparent
when DIR. Parker arrived that the patient
was in the throes Of death and nothing
known 10 the medical skill could avert the
conrse OF the great destroyer.
Mrs. Millhiser suffered the first stroke OF
apoplexy about ten years ago. aud since that
time she has bad seven or eight attacks. each
one OF which 10 was feared would prove
fatal. That this was the csuse OF her sud.
den demise there Is not the slightest
doubt. An examination OF her throat
showed that II was entirely free from
the slightest obstruction, Besides when dr't
taken there was no such violent jerking oi the
body "a always characterizes strsngulaticD.
The deceased lost brother about a week
ago under similar circumstances. and It Is
thought that this shock bad the effect of
fastening her end.
Deceased was the widow Of Joseph Mil-
hiser, who when be died about twenty.thrce
wears ago wss the senior member OF the firm
OF j. Mllhiser 4 Brother. She was native
Of England and In the sixty.Secopd year Of
