Word was received here Tuesday
of the death that day of Mrs. Mar
cha Kilbourn, mother of Rev. H. J.
Kilbourn of this place, at the home
of her son in Racine, Wis. The news
was entirely unexpected and came as
a sudden shock to Mr.. and Mrs. Kill
bourn, who had a cheerful letter from
her only the day before in which
she did not speak of being i'll, but
said she was looking forward to re-
turning to old New England and be-
ing with them again in Bradford.
The letter was written Friday and 1t
seems on the Wednesday before she
had taken cold. But it was evident
ly not of a serious nature until after
Friday for she did not speak of 1t
when writing. The serious illness
must have come suddenly and the
end, perhaps, with very little warn
ing. Mr.. Kilbourn left on the Tues
day night train for Racine and arriv-
ed there, if not delayed, in time Tor |
the funeral yesterday afternoon
Mrs. Kilbourn was "a years old, well
and vigorous for woman of her
age. She left here for Racine last
July after long visit here with Mr.
Kilbourn and his wife. Many OF the
people here met and liked her and
will be m Ich grieved to hear of her
sudden death. She was New Eng
land woman, born in Massachusetts
and the old home places were always
dear to her. MIR. and Mrs. Kilbourn
have the sympathy of all in the deep
grief that comes in having one so
dear to them taken away.
