for days to pro,ong her life, nor of the
solicitous hope against hope of her Sis
ter and other relatives and friends for
her recovery. At the Mckinley home
when death came there were present
Secretary Cortelyou, Mr.. and Mrs. NJ.
c. Barber, Mrs. Sarah Duncan, Mrs.
Luther Day, Justice and Mrs. William
r. Day, Drs. Portmann and Rixey and
