and deeply panied to learn of the death
of Mrs. L. II. Giddings, which occurred
Jan. 21st at the hospital in EauClaire,
where she had gone at the repeated
advice of physicians for an operation.
Her many friends who had known of
her long and painful struggle with dis
ease had hoped for a return to health
again. In view of her open hearted
Christian character and loving service
for others, her calling home seems al
