The townspeople were shocked yesterday
to learn of the sudden death of Mrs
Leona Torsey, which occurred about noon
Mrs. Torsey had not been we'll for some

her home only a short time before her
death. Apoplexy is assigned as the
cause, and death was immediate.

ma Shaw, but had lived most of her life
in Winthrop, where she had a wide cir
Gle of friends
She was married in August, 1878, to Bur-
ton c. Torsey of Winthrop. who survives
her with one son, Ralph Torsey.
Mrs. Torsey was we'll known in local
musical circles and had been always con-
sidered as one of our finest singers, pos
sessing an also voice of great richness
and beauty She was member of the
Universalist church. She had a most
cheerful and happy disposition and a ma
ture of great sociabiity. She will be
much missed in the town where she has
resided so many years and all join with
the bereaved family in mourning her loss.
