Saturday morning, when she passed
away.
Now gossip is free from restraint and
private life of the two dead persons is
being laid bare. Nottage was never con-
sidered particularly quick of intelligence
nor was he ever considered a bad man.
He was man of quiet demeanor, worked
in the woods and on the drive, drank a
little but was never quarrelsome. Mrs.
Nottage was very plain looking woman
and. although young, was strong and
courageous. as appears to be indicated
in her great fight for life in the hotel
parlor.
Nottage and his wife lived together but
a few months after their marriage. When
they separated he told his wife that when
the baby was strong enough to be taken
from the mother he would come after it.
The mother kept the child with her until
last Monday, when she came here to
work in the hotel. Last October Mrs
Nottage had occasion to visit an uncle
in a distant part of the State and when
she took the train at North Arson she
was seen by her husband. He then be-
lieved she was taken the child away to
