FRIDAY MORNING

Anna b. Price, wife of w. @. Price,
died at the family residence in Malta.
Friday, January 18th, 1909, at 7:45
q. m. after brief illness of only
week. On the evening of January 7th
she returned from the Great Falls
Hospital where she had been called
to the bedside of her sick baby and on
the following day was stricken with
measles from which she never recov-
cred.
Anna b. Torgenson was born in
Wisconsin August 9th, 1881, and later
removed with her parents to Kenyon
Mimi, where her early girlhood days
were spent, coming to Malta about
five years ago. She had not lived in
Malta quite a year when she was
united in marriage to William Q.
Price. Two children blessed this
union, both of whom survive their
mother. Ruth, little gill of two
summers, and boy, baby of five
months, who is now in the Great
Falls Hospital.
The shadow of the sorrow that
darkens the home of Mr. Price, rests
upon Malta, for deaths untimely

the mother has been taken from her
young children at time when they
most needed her loving care and the
husband bereft of a helpmeet when
her companionship was daily becom
ing dearer and sweeter to him and
meant most to him.
Mrs. Price was of a kindly, patient,
hopeful disposition and many of her
words and deeds will live in the hearts
of her friends. Only the day before
she died she was hopeful of recovery,
telling her friends she was better,
that she would soon be we'll.
After her death, her father, An

to attend the funeral, reaching Malta
Tuesday evening. Mrs. Torgenson
is in poor health and was unable to
accompany her husband to Malta.

ceased, came from Kenyon.
The funeral services were held at
the NJ. E. church at 200 O'Clock,
