A Sad Drowning.

Last Sunday Il. B. Mendenhall brought
the body Of his wife from their home at
Petersen here for burial. She was
drowned while bathing in the Little
Sioux last Friday afternoon. The
stricken husband relates that on Thurs
day she playfully told him that she and
Mrs. W. r. Lee neighbor and friend,
formerly Of Audubon, now OF Petersen,
were going in bathing the next day. He
tried to dissuade her from this telling
her he was afraid she would get drowned.
She laughed at his fears and she and
Mrs. Lee went in about one o'clock Fri
day afternoon. Mrs. Mendenhall was
full of life and in great glee and was
yenturesome. She waded across, the
water rising to her neck. In wading
back she either stepped in sink beyond
her depth or was taken with cramps
Mrs. Lee saw her go down. She ran for
a board to push out, but could not get
one. She then ran for help, but before
that arrived Mrs. Mendenhall was dead
The body was recovered and taken to
their home about 2:30 p. m.
Mrs. Mendenhall whose name was
Eliza Burns, was born in Appanoose
county. She was married to Joe Jump
and two boys survive them. After Mr..
Jumps death she married Mr.. Menden-
hall in Audubon. They left here in May,
SO, going to Petersen. Burial took place
Sunday at Maple Grove cemetery. Mr..
Mendenhall has the sympathy of his old
friends here.
