The sudden death Of Mrs. Caroline
Hook of Hedrick, widow Of the late
James Hook, occurred yesterday morn
ing at the hospital in Mt. Pleasant.
The deceased had been i'll for over
year, and her death, although not pain.
full, came as a. relief to her continued
confinement and suffering. She was
about 40 years of age, and was a
highly respected and esteemed woman
of Hedrick. Her death is mourned by
father, John Ebelsheizer, ST., two
brothers, William and John Ebelshei-
zer, three sisters, Mrs. j. w. Porter,
Mrs. J. LAM and Mrs. w. w. Stewart,

perhaps the greatest pleasure that hui
man beings can enjoy, of seeing her
children grow up to be useful and re-.
spected members Of society. Being a
devout Catholic, perhaps the fondest
wish that a Catholic mother can have.
that her son enter the priesthood and
gain an honored position, was granted
her. The surviving children are: Mrs.
Louisa Thomas Of Peoria, Ill; Mrs.
Kate schaefer Of Iowa City; Very Rev
F. W. Hoppman of Ottumwa: Mrs.
Minnie Allen of La Grange, III: Miss
Anna Hoppman of La Grange. Ill

and consistent member of st. Johns
Catholic church. She was highly es-
teemed within and without the circles
of her. church, and while she was an
active member Of the Altar society and }
the Woman's sodality, there were very
many who belonged to another faith
who came to know her well and ia
esteem her very high. Father Hopp-
man left. this afternoon on Burlington
No. 6 forsBurlington.
The funeral will be held in Burling.
ton Tuesday morning from 305 Mari
eta street, services at $3.50 o'clock at
