Death Of Mrs. Napoleon Hicks.

Our community was shocked last
Saturday night on learning of the
sudden death of Mrs. Martha Ann,
wife Of Mr.. Napoleon Hicks. A few
hours before her death she COM
planned of feeling sick but DO one
thought that the end was as near as
it was. Her symptoms becoming
alarming the family physician was
summoned but on his arrival she had
passed all human aid and she ex-
pired, with paralysis OF the heart:
Her funeral services were conducted
in the Baptist church by the Rev. j..
G. Graichen and the interment took
place in st. Stephens cemetery.
She was lady remarkable for her
deep piety and nobility of soul, and
was q consistent member of the
Luthern church. OF quiet and un.
assuming disposition, she was de-
voted to home and its duties and
was kind and effectionate to her
loved ones. A mother in Isreal has
gone hence to receive her reward.
A large concourse of sorrowing rela-
tiyes and friends honored her memory
by witnessing the last sad rites Ct
the departed one. Our sympathy
goes out to the bereayed ones IN their
Affections.
