Several months ago she was afflicted with a humorous trouble and one year ago at Grace hospital tumor weighing forty-seven pounds was re- moved by the late Dr. C. B. Adams. It was a skilf1ll operation and the pa- tient apparently completely recovered as she was in excellent health for sev- eral months. Some time ago she began running down and early in the summer went to Essex for time, but received no benefit and returned home. It was apparent that her old trouble was agan afflicting her. For several days before her death she was great suf- ferer. An operation was at last de- cided upon, although there was only a chance of it's being successful and it was performed on Friday by Drs 1 Whittemore, Cheney. Hall and Skiff Two nurses were also in attendance l The operation revealed a complete de velopment of tuberculosis, showing that the disease of late had been very rapid
 The patient died a few hours after the operation. Several weeks ago while
 driving to her husbands place of busi
 ness on States street, as was her GUS. tom, wagon collided with her car | and she POnGi1pra blU in, jured, which no doubt hastened hel
 death. The deceased was the daughter
 of Harriet E., and the late George H
 Spohr There have been four deaths il
 the family within few months and thu
 bereaved ones have the sympathy O
 their friends in this last sad aff1icton
 The funeral will take place from tn,
