DEATH OF WlNIFRED SINGLE,

On Sunday afternoon, March llth,
1901, as the evening shadows were gath
ering, Winifred Pearl Single, departed
this life at her home on Grand avenue.
One week ago yesterday, this most es-
Unable young lady was pursuing her
studies in the High School; today, those
who have known her, cannot realize
that she is no more among the living
of this earth. The lamentable event
occurred at 4:30 O'Clock and the sad an
nouncement was received with the
most profound sorrow throughout the
city.
Winifred was slightly indisposed
during the week ending March 9th, and
for several days remained from school
physician was also consulted, but
there was no indication then OF the
fatal illness which was to follow. On
Monday, March 18th, she was in her
accustomed seat in the Wausau High
School, but on that evening she felt so
badly that it was necessary for her to
60 to bed From that time she COM
menced to grow worse, and notwlth-
standing everything possible was done
that human skill and loving hands
could devise, her spirit passed over the
dark river to join with her father who
preceded her to the great beyond. The
fatal illness was acute nervous pros
tration.
Winnifred Singles death is terrible
shock to the family, for she was the
life of the household the idol of her
mother, sisters and brother it was also
a great shock to her relatives and hosts
of friends, with whom she was gen
eral favorite. She was next to the
youngest daughter of the late Benjamin
I. Single and was born in Wausau on
the 1st day of Jan, 1884, and was
therefore in her 18th year. Her whole
life has been spent in and near Wausau
and her childhood years passed, giving
bright promise of health and eff long
life of comfort to those about her and
of happiness to herself. To those who
have known her since infancy, her
memory will always be pleasant and
a precious thing. As a child she was
kind and affectionate /; as girl, warm
hearted, generous and true; as stu
dent, bright, honest and faithful as a
young lady, genial, ambitious and thor
oughlY unseltish.
She was a valued member of the
Wausau High School Literary So
ciety, and last evening the society
adopted the following resolutions
