Children.

Miss Lizzie Wood Taylor, widow
of the late Dan'l. M. Taylor, died
suddenly at the home of Mr.. Eugene
Wood, on South Main street yester-
day morning at $50 o'clock.
Mrs. Taylor, who roomed with her
sister, Miss Sue Wood, in the home
of their nephew, Eugene Wood, re-
tired Thursday night apparently in
perfect health. At five o'clock Fri
day morning, when Miss Wood
awoke, she heard Mrs. Taylor
breathing quite hard and in few
moments after she had expired.
Heart failure was the cause of her
death.
Mrs. Taylor was a daughter of

day and begun working for himself,
in 1919 he married Miss Nancy SAT-
farans. He was for many years
deputy clerk of the county court and
knew almost every man in the coun.
! ty. BY strict economy and'tireless
labor he attained large competence
and long before his death he decided
to the county the land on which the
court house, old clerks office and
the city court room now stands He
was member of the Christian
church. Eleven children blessed Mr..
and Mrs. Woods life, all of whom
grew to manhood and womanhood
with the exception of two before Mr..
Woods death, his wife surviving him
but few weeks.
Mrs. Taylor is survived by two
brothers, Messrs. George W. and
John Wood and her sister, Miss Sue
Wood. She leaves a large connec.
ton in this and Todd counties. She
was widow for many years and her
two children died in their youth. In
early life she united with the Christ
ian church and was always faithful
attendant on its services. Possessed
of considerable property she lived in
ease and comfort, dispensing charity
and doing good to all with whom she
came in contact.

Christian church today at 2:9Oo'clock
