THE GRIM REAPER

One of the most sudden and pathetic
deaths that has shocked this COM
munity in many years, occurred with
the announcement of the untimely de-
mise of Miss Blanche Dick, aged 23
years, a teacher in the fifth grade of
the West Side school in this city, from
private sanitarium at Columbus last
Tuesday afternoon.
The case is one of the saddest that
has ever been chronicle in the county.
Within the last few weeks relatives
and friends of the deceased girl had
noticed that at times she acted in pc
culiar manner, and last week her mind
bacame badly affected, causing deep
anxiety so fast did her mental trouble
grow. Friday night she became de-
cidedly worse and Saturday morning,
accompanied by her father, +. NJ. Dick.
of L nion township, she was taken to a
private sanitarium at Columbus for
treatment. Her case seems to have
been beyond all earthly aid, and the
end came as stated.
Miss Dick was one of the most popu-
lar teachers in our schools, and had
been re-empIoyed for the coming term
of school. VIM. c. Dick, of the J. A.
Roemer Co., the well known clothing
house, is a half brother of the deceased
girl.
The remains were brought to this
city Wednesday night and taken to
the home of her parents near Mendon,
where funeral services will be held at
1890 this afternoon. The remains will
be brought to Celina for interment, and
if the weather will permit the casket
will be opened at North Grove to allow
her pupils and friends in this city to
look upon her face once more. Should
the weather be inclement her remains
will be brought to st. Paul's M. T..
Church for that purpose. The time for
arrival here is not definitely known,
but will be about 300 o'clock.
