through the city at noon Sunday, news
of the death of the young lady reach

due to an operation performed for

little difficulty, had rallied from the
anaesthetic and would 500 o
Yesterday, however, two messages
came in quick succession saying that
her condition was quite alarming, and

which was noticed in the dilatory dis
patches of Saturday night, was adjust

promptly notified the United States
that il would brook nc backdOwn on

statement was conveyed to the Rus

, 1905-06-19

news of her death was placed in his
hands by the trainmen.
Miss Naismith was burn at Cheyenne
nearly twenty-five years ago, but had
spent the most of her life il this city.
Everywhere she wis a great fayoritc,
a musician of promise and was oun
ed upon for a part in the recent recital
by the college of music. Instead, at
lying in the Chicago hospital, her life
slipping away as the clock licked the
silent hours of the night. She was a
beautiful girl-beautiful in mind and
face, and her friends were limited only
to those who knew her and wot of her
sweet, loving disposition, her talents
and her gentle nature, her ever pres
n smile and her tenderness of heart
that sought no harm but good for all
her fellow men. She was a member
of the Presbyterian church, an earnest,
helpful, ready Christian, bearing her
share of the burdens of life and spread
ing her full need of sunshine.
1t is now believed that the remains
will each Laramie Wednesday at /
O'Clock. Mrs. Naismith will leave Chi
cago this evening and be joined at
Council Bluffs by Mr.. Naismith and
Mrs. McKinlay tomorrow, passing on
westward. The funeral will probably
be held from the Presbyterian church,
with services by Rev. A. c. Hogbin,
but these details are not yet complete.
Miss Naismith was a graduate of the
University Of Wyoming with the class
of 1902. She was a student in the
college of music at the time of her
death. A little more than a year ago
she was injured while at work in the
university gymnasium, and since that
time she has not been entirely free
from pain. The trouble was diagnosed
as floating kidney, requiring but a sim
pie operation to replace that organ
and restore the girl to health. On the
table in the Chicago institution com
plicatiOns were found, however, and
these, it is believed, produced her sud
den and sad death. She suffered much
before the final dissolution, but lost
not an opportunity to assure her weep
ing, heart-broken mother that she would
get well, in spite of the great pain, the
surgeon assuring her that the pain
would not continue longer than a day
two. When death came a sweet spir-
it winged its way to the bright world
above, leaving those to mourn who had
been dear to her.
News of the death of this lovely
girl was soon whispered about here,
and no death for years has caused
more expressions of sorrow and deep
Her loss will be felt not only
in the circle of her loved ones, but by
a large number of friends as well. The
funeral will be largely attended.

check in raising the amount. Photo
