A letter recently received from Chi
cagO contains particulars concerning
the sudden death of Mrs. H. b. Sinclair
reported some two weeks ago. which
will doubtless he of interest to many in
this vicinity, rs the deceased was resi-
dent of Paw Paw for nearly twenty
years For some time previous to her
death, Mrs Sinclair had been a sufferer
from heart trouble and general break
ing down of the nervous system, and
during the last few months had grown
much worse, though no immediate
result was feared. On the morning of
her death, she rose at five o'clock, to
call member of the family whose busi-
ness required an early start. Returning
to her bed, she was not disturbed until
late breakfast hour, rs it was thought
she needed all the rest 'possible; but at
eight o'clock the girl entered her room,
only to find that she was indeed "at
rest" in the sleep that knows no waking.
A physician being hastily summoned,
said that death must have occurred at
least two hours before, and everything
indicated that she had passed uncon-
sciously away. The last melancholy
rites were attended by quite number
of Eastern relatives, as well as by many
residents of the city which was her last
earthly home; for here, as in all other
places where she had lived, she pos
sessed large circle of true friends
whom her warm heart and winning
ways had gathered about her. Her
remains lie by the side of her husbands,
in Oakwood cemetery, but we are glad
TO believe that the worn and weary
heart has at last gained eternal rest.
