MRS. e. c. TROUT.
Our community was shocked
on Tuesday morning by the news
that Mrs. Elizabeth Cooper Trout
had died about eleven o'clock on
Monday night.
She had been i'll of typhoid fe-
yer for about five weeks, but it
was the impression of many that
she was convalescing, and they
were unprepared for her death.
Until the week before all symp-
toms pointed toward her well. get
ting when stomach complication
arose which defeated all efforts
of doctor and nurses to control.
The deceased was the youngest
daughter of Daniel Fore former
citizen of this place, and was the
widow of Jacob Snider Trout, D.
S.
She was in her fifty fourth year
and is survived by four children,
Mrs. w. Logan Sloan, Buffalo, N.
Y; Harry, of Great Falls, Mon
tana; and Daniel F., and Bess at
home.
Mrs. Trout was one of the most
intelligent women in the County
and, possibly, has the most ex-
tensive collection of books, which
were her most valued society. A
keen sense of humor frightened
her conversation and made her a
delightful entertainer. Of the
poor and the sick she was always
thoughtful and many were made
more comfortable by her minis
trations.
Funeral from her late resi-
dence, "The Willows" Interment
in Union cemetery at 2 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon.
