l.. A. Simpson: The funeral of Mrs.
l. G. DeGraff took place from the Con-

friends, and there is general sorrow at
her death, which was very sudden and
unexpected, she having been, to all ap.
pearances, much improved up to within
a few hours before her death, when she
sank into inconsistencies, and died
without recovering consciousness.
