with sudden distress in the side
while engaged about her home, faint

relief. She had told her husband,
who was at the home, of how strange
she felt. She removed her corset
and feeling unsteady sat down upon
the edge of the bed and moment
later pitched forward to the floor in
a fainting and helpless condition. Mr..
Carr ran to her assistance, picked her
up, placed her on the bed and had
physicians in attendance almost i'm

without gaining consciousness. Death
was due to heart trouble induced by
complications.
