A visitor from Hague gives the Rec
ord information of the death of Mrs.
Jacob Lang, who resided with her hus-
band and seven-Months-o child about
seven miles southwest of Hague. She
was about twenty five years old, and
was married three years ago. She died
OF pneumonia, after sickness of six
days. She had been ailing with grip;
but, getting better, she did the family
washing, with the result that She took
pneumonia. DIR. Shockey was called,
but 1t was too late to save her. The
