Death of Mrs. Merriman.

Marshalltown people generally were
saddened Sunday morning to learn Of
the death of Mrs. Sarah McConnell-M er-
riman, who has been Ill for the past
week. Altho her illness was of a serious
nature from the start, she was doing so
nicely that friends had ceased to feel
much anxiety regarding the outcome.
A week ago Saturday Mrs. Merriman
suffered a strangulated hernia, for
which she was operated on that day.
The operation was apparently quite sue
cessful and the patient was announced
as doing very we'll. Friday night septic
peritonitis set In. and she gradually
grew worse until death relieved her
sufferings at 1890 O'Clock Saturday
night.
Mrs. Merriman was one Of the best
known women of the city, having resld-
ed here many years, and 1t can be
truthfully stated that among all her ac-
quaintances she was not known to have
one single enemy. She was in every
sense home woman, and her life has
been one of devotion to that home and
her children.
Sarah Mcconnell was born in SPRING
field. ILL.,, Dec. 90 1851, spending her
girlhood days there In 1874 she was
married to Mr.. S. w. Merriman, who.
in 1879, came to Marshalltown with his
wife and family. In the early sos Mr..
Merriman became associated with the
| Times Republican Printing Company,
as manager being identified with the
property about ten years. Mr.. Merri-
mans death occurred April 16, 1899, at
Spring Valley, Ill.
Mrs. Merriman is survived by one son
and three daughters. Mr.. Lee Merri-
man. of Spring Valley, was summoned
home on account of his mothers illness,
week ago. and was present at her bed
side at the time of her death. The
daughters. Mrs Park Bentley and
Misses Elsie and Gertrude Merriman,
reside in this city. Mrs. Merriman's
father Mr.. A. b. Mcconnell, who has
made his home in this city with his
daughter. survives her: also four bro
theirs and one sister-Mr Will Neon
nell. of Springfield. H.: Mr. Frank r.
Mcconnell, of Cuero, Texas: Mr.. Rich
ard Mcconnell, of Little Rock. Ark. ;
Mr.. Edward Mcconnell. of Chicago, and
Mrs. Will r. Webster. of this city.
The funeral will be conducted from
the family home, POI South Fourth
street. at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon,
conducted by Rev. F.. w Russell. of the
Presbyterian church. of which the de-
ceased was member. Interment will
be in Riverside.

MISUNDERSTANDING
City News.

Coroner F. p. Lierle, who was called
the death of the late John Rolston, de-
cided to conduct an inquest, which was
held with Wallace Arney, r. F. Graham
and o. T. Lefevre as jurors. After in
vestigating all of the circumstances
and looking into the deceased's actions
prior to his death, the jury returned a
verdict to the effect that the deceased
came to his death by his own hand, SUI
perinduced by the great mental strain
under which he was laboring.
Coroner Lierle, who was personally
Interested in the death because of his
wife's connection with the deceased 8
family, says that from what he could
learn Mr. Rolston's worrying was most
~ over a recent land deal that he made.
whereby he acquired the II. N. Pratt
farm, just east of town. for which. some
one had told him, he paid too much. AL
tho there was really nothing whatever
to worry over. so Mr.. Rolston's son
states. his father did seem to be dis
turbed. and had expressed himself that
it was bad deal-the worst, in fact,
that he had ever made. Coroner Lierie
says that members of the deceased S
family had noticed for some time that
Mr.. Rolston was acting rather strange
ly at times but thought but very little
about it until after his death, when his
actions We're wildly recalled.
Mr.. Robert Denbow, of Albion, relates
little incident that occurred Friday
evening, in which it is shown that MI
Rolston was not himself Mr.. Denbow
was on his way home from the postof-
flee. where he had been to get his eve
ming paper, and whatever other mail
there might be for him. He met Mr..
Rolston. who inqui ed if the papers had
been distributed, and when informed
that they had, asked Mr.. Rolston why
he didn't bring his CRolstons) paper?'
adding that if he GDenbow) hadn't been
so ''d-n lazy" he would have done So
Mr.. Denbow thought it strange that Mr..
Rolston should speak so. as he really
seemed to be in earnest, but soon dis
missed the matter from his mind, not
to think of the circumstance again I'M
til he received the news of his suicide.
The funeral of Mr.. Rolston was con-
Quoted this afternoon at Albion. Those
in attendance from this city were Mrs.
F.. P. Lierle. Mrs. c. *. Burkart, Mrs.
Eliza Collins Mrs. Marietta Palmer. Mrs
Thomas McLarnan, Miss Hattie Dick
son and Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Rolston and
family.

Branch Libraries-We have been
testing many branches of work this year

have been sent out into the city schools
