him in his business affairs until the
last, and was held in high esteem and
respect by every mar, woman and
child in The con munity. Fer death
was caused by blood poisoning re-

Thursday forenoon and was attended
by vast concourse Of sorrowing rel

A particularly sad feature Of the
uatimely and unexpected demise of
this lamented woman was the fact that
her beloved husband and son, Ger

the tinal summons came, they having
sailed from New Orleans last week for
France, where German is to be mar
