Many hearts we're saddened Mon
day afternoon when the report OF the
death of Mrs. Nora Wilder, wife of
Mr.. Lucias Wilder of this place was
made known. The case being the
more sad from being unexpected,
having occurred after an operation
was performed for the removal OF an
abdominal tumor. A surgeon from
one of the Lewiston hospitals assisted
by Dr's. Smith and Dascombe per-
formed the operation. Mrs. Wilder
had been confined to her bed for a
short time with rheumatism which
the attending physician diagnosed as
being induced from the tumor and
preparations were made for an oper-
alton which was to have taken place
last week. Dr's. Smith and Das-
comb met at the house at the appoint
ed time and on more careful exam
nation it was decided to call in a
surgeon Of great experience in this
particular line and an adjournment
was made until Monday. Mrs. Wilder
was the daughter OF the late Isaiah
Walton and was married to Mr.. Wild
or when she was twenty years OF age.
Three sons and three daughters were
born to them all OF whom are living
except the oldest son whose unfortu-
nate drowning several years ago In
North pond will be we'll remembered.
She would have been forty Ave years
Of age the twenty fourth of next
month. Naturally brigh t, vivacious
and ambitious she has been a model
wife and mother and the family are
heartbroken at their loss. The fu-
neral will be held, Friday afternoon
at O'Clock.
