From THURSDAYS DailyJ
Mrs. Anna Luikart, widow of the
late Hon. G. A. Luikart, died very sud
denly in her home on West Norfolk
avenue Thursday morning.
Death was due probably to brain
hemorrhage. Mrs. Luikart had gone
into the bathroom and some time later
was found by her daughter, Miss Stella
Luikart.
Mrs. Luikart had never been well
since the tragic death of her husband,
who was struck down by horse at
the corner of Norfolk avenue and
Fourth street about four years ago
The shock of that deplorable tragedy
almost wrecked the nerves of the be-
reaved widow and she had never re-
covered her normal health, She spent
some time in sanitariums and at health
resorts.
Mrs. Luikart's condition, however
had not been considered particularly
critical at this time and her sudden
death came as a very severe shock to
y.
At an early hour Thursday morning
Mrs. Luikart was heard to go into the
bathroom. Miss Stella Luikart, eldest
of the children now at home, had as
sisted the Ladies of Trinity guild in
serving the bankers banquet until af-
ter midnight Wednesday night, and
she was naturally sleeping somewhat
late. She thought nothing of hearing
her mothers footsteps, and continued
a restful nap. Later, when she arose,
she was astounded at finding that her
mother had passed away in the bath
room.
Mrs. Luikart would have been fifty
years old on December q. She was
married to Mr. Luikart at Galesburg,
ILL.,, on June II, 1877.
