DEATH OF MRS. THEODORE MEY-
 FRS


 The many friends of Mrs. Theodore Meyers of AZ Greenwood street will learn with regret of her death, which occurred at her late home Monday af- ternoon after a lingering illness of chronic bronchitis. The deceased had been a great sufferer and all that lov- ing hands could do had been done for her comfort, but loving friends and the best medical skill failed to alleviate her of her sufferings and death alone brought the peace that she had so long fervently prayed for. The deceased was born in the province of Hanover, Ger many, but had been a resident of this city since early in life, and was well and favorably known throughout the city. Her age was tifty-two years. She was a loved member of the George street German Lutheran church, and also a member of Mozart lodge. She leaves husband, two daughter and four sons to mourn her loss, and she will be sad ly missed in the home circle, where she mother One of her sons, a member of the regular army, is now In the Philip pines. For some time Mrs Meyers had been longing to hear from her soldier son, and only last week received tidfngs from him in the far east, cheering her last days with the news of his good health and kind wishes. The funeral will take place from her late home on afternoon at 2:30, and there will be a large concourse of sorrowing and sympathizing friends present to pay their last tribute of respect to a loved Christian friend. She will be laid at rest in Evergreen cemetery.
