Sudden Death.

A sad death occurred Tuesday even
ing on Boones Greek. Miss Stella Gal
loway, daughter Of Mrs. Hattie Gallo
way, was thrown or fell from horse
during the afternoon coming from
school, but did not seem to be hurt.
When she got home she was in her
usual cheerful mood. About 8 O'Clock
she was feeling badly and went to bed,
and in less than an hour she went into
commissions and died before medical
aid could reach her. Death is suppos-
ed to have occurred by the bursting Of
a blood vessel. She was about fifteen
years of age and a bright, lovable
school girl. Her mother is a sister Of
Mrs. I. j. Galloway and the Hunter
boys, of this city. The funeral serv-
ices were held at the residence Wednes-
day morning and were largely attended.
