Mrs. Collins has been i'll several
months. She was very i'll not long ago
and to all appearances life had left
the body. She had been in that con-
dition a number of hours and prepara-
tions for the funeral had been COM
menced when the patient suddenly re-
viYed, regained consciousness and
grew decidedly better. She was taken
very i'll again, however, and death en-
sued. The funeral was under the aus

a fraternal organization, the members
OIL which attended largely from the
surrounding mining camps.

days.
The funeral was held from the
late residence on South Third street
at 2:30 o'clock p. IN. Tuesday, March "a
and interment made in forest ceme-
tery.
The deceased has not been In good
health for number of months and
has been failing gradually and grow
ing weaker from month to month.
Some time ago a decided change for
the worse became apparent. Her COM
plexion became an unnatural color and
she retained nourishment only with
difficulty About six weeks ago she
became very much worse and her sys-
TEN refused to accept food. The di-
gestiye system refused to act. The
blood became impoverished on &C
count of non-assimilation and she was
compelled to take to her bed. Every
effort known to medical science was
made to relieve the sufferings of the
patient and everything possible was
done to nourish the system but to no
avail and the end came Saturday even
ing when she passed away. She has
been in a semi-unconscious state for
the past week. She would rally at
times and seem quite bright and
would not give up but that she would
get well again.
Everything that the devotion of
husband or the kindness of relatives
could suggest was done to better the
condition of the patient. During the
past two weeks she has had the con-
stant care and attention of trained
nurse, Mrs Sylvia B. Akin, east of the
city and had every attention that pro-
fessional skill or the kindness of
friends and neighbors could suggest or
devise. Ceaseless effort was made for
her betterment or relief, but all that
could be done was without permanent
effect or success. 1t was thought some
days ago that the illness would be
fatal and the relatives were informed |
of her condition and at the time of
death she was surrounded by quite a
number OF the members OF her I'M
mediate family.
Hester A. Wray, daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. Wylie Wray was born in
