A SUDDEN DEATH.

Died, at her home in Extra town
ship, Wednesday, January 30, 1895,
Nancy j. Walker, wife of the Hon.
VIM. Walker.
Such was the sudden and unex-
pected announcement yesterday morn
ing that filed multitude of hearts
with mourning. The deceased was
thought to be in usual health, but on
going to her room to call her to break
fast she was found dead, lying as she
had fallen, her body still warm. No
one was present except little girl who
was five or six years of age, and she is
not able to give Il precise account of
what happened, but from her it is
learned that her grandma had told her
that morning that they would not get
up until the hired man had done mp
his chores. When she did get up she
suddenly fell and expired Immediately.
Drs, Riley and Lauritzen were sum
moned and we gather from them that
the cause of death was heart disease.
The diseased was daughter Of w.
Ii. Ill. and Elizabeth Bowen, a pioneer
family who came to this county in 1853.
Her father is still living in this town
ship at the age of 49, Her mother died
in 1873
Mrs. Walker was born in Ohio on
Marc h II, 1884, and consequently was
near 81 years Of age. She came to Au-
dubon county with her parents in the
fall of 1853 She was one of the pioneer
teachers of this county. February
1893, she was married to William
Walker, who survives her. 70 them
have been born nine children, seven of
whom are living, namely: John e.,
Laura A., wife of j. ID. Barahan, Ulys
sess s., Lulu NJ, wife of j. b. Rendle-
man, Olive E., Eva and j. Grant
She was a consistent member of the
M. e. church and though death "came
as a thief in the night" it found her
prepared for the final change which
comes to all sooner or later. She was
a kind and loving wife and mother
and endeared herself to all with whom
she came in contact.
AS we go to press the funeral SER
vices are being held at the home, by
Rev. Reed, a large concourse of people
being in attendance. She will be in
TERED in the Bowen cemetery.

Nor give the heart to vain regret

The gem that filled 1t sparkles yet"
