operation. The Both OF April OF the

Buffalo for second operation. She re-
mained at hospital until the 18th OF
May and then returned TO her home In
this place. Tho Reynoldsville doctors
taxed their best skill to dress the wound
and give her all possible attention and
care, but hemorrhages we're frequent
and finally the attending physician and
his assistants pronounced the case be-
yound their aid and on the 18th Of June,
one week ago yesterday, Mrs. Meyers
was taken back TO the hospital at Buffa-
10 accompanied by her physician and
daughter, Miss Edna Meyers. On Fri
day third operation was performed,
but Mrs. Meyers never rallied from
that operation and was unconscious
until dissolution took place and her
suffering was over. Miss Edna was the
only member OF the family that was at
the bedside OF Mrs. Meyers when she
fell asleep never to awaken in this life
again. The body was brought to Reyn-
oldsville on the 4.30 p. IN, train Sunday.
