The community was sadly shocked last
Thursday to hear of the death of Mrs. Err
nest Barnum at the home of her parents in
Newport, where she had been staying to
receive medical treatment. Mrs. Barnum
had been suffering from throat trouble for
about eighteen months but it was not
thought to be serious until recently her
physician feared tuberculosis of the throat.
She went to Newport to be treated for her
trouble, and though not strong was able
to be about and on the street more or less.
Wednesday night she had a severe fit of
coug hing, as she had had on some occa-
sions previously, but it was quieted. La
ter she was taken with very severe fit of
coughing and DIR. Longe was called.
Seeing her case was SO serious he desired
council, but before another doctor could
be called Mrs. Barnum died. Her death |
seemed to be due to strangulation, as she
could not breathe during her cough
ing, and she died in about half an
hour after it began. Mrs. Barnum
leaves a husband and a large circle OF |
relatives and friends who have the sympa-
thy of the community in their affection.
