Mrs. Elizabeth Brock. a lady who has
lived in our. community for a great
many years. died on Monday last from
pneumonia. Mrs. Brock had been i'll
for three weeks withithe grippe. but no
one thought that she was dangerously
i'll, and when her death was announced
it could hardl. be believed. Mrs.
Brock was good and kind woman,
and by hard work and stinting herself
of the necessities of this life. had accu-
mulated enough of property to keep
her comfortable in her Old age. She
had no kin nor relatives and she willed
her possessions to those who had been
kind to her and to the Episcopal
church. The ladies of our town care
fully nursed Mrs. Brockin her illness.
Rev. Mr., Boberg conducted the funeral
services. and her remains were followed
to their last abode by great many of
our citizens.
