A Very Sad Death

Mrs. Saulberg, aged about
sixty years, died yesterday after
noon at her home in one of the
Hood cottages after a weeks ILL
ness, and was buried this morn
ing in the old cemetery. Rev.
g. M. Gray conducted the SER
vices. The family is destitute.
The father is away, presumably
in South Florida, seeking employ
ment, and the only other member
of the family is girl about six
teen years of age, who is serious
ly i'll with typhoid fever, and has
been so for several weeks, under
DR.. Hoods treatment. There is
no one to care for her except a
hired woman, and much is needed
to be done. The mother was
buried by the city. Good ladies,
look after this case, as you
always do when your attention is
called to want.
