On Dec. Goth, inst, at q sanitarium,
in Chicago, death relieved from suffer-
ing Mrs. Martha r. Field, of New'0r-
leans, one of the most famous writer's
of the South, and who has been an in
valid for come years.
Mrs. Fields, who is widest and best
known by her pen name Catherine
Cole" was born in Lexington, No., in
1865, but in the early sixties her fami-
ly moved to New Orleans, and there
is where she spent the greater part of
her life. While still a young girl she
went to California, where in brief
space OF time she became wife, mother
and widow, and it was then, when
she was confronted with the necessity
of supporting herself and baby girl,
that she turned to the pen rs bread
winner, and from that became one OF
the most famous and beloved writers
of the South that was ever known.
Every heart now turns to comfort
her stricken daughter, "Flo," who
hos been most faithful and loving
daughter and nurse to her dear moth
err in her time of suffering.
The tireless hands that wrought so
much good are folded over the pulse
less breast, and all that remains to
us is the memory OF the brave, sweet
woman, the devoted mother and gift
ed writer. Death has written fms at
the end of the chapter, and, her work
being done, she sleeps well.
