Is AFFLICTED
FOR THIRD Time
N. c. WILLARD LOSES HIS ONLY
DA G TER BY DEATH
AFTER ONLY SHORT
ILLNESS.

With the death of his daughter,
Edna, aged p, which occurred last
evening at the Calumet Public hospi-
tai, y. G. Willard, of Marquette, mail
clerk on the South Shore road between
Calumet and Marquette, has been Wis
tied by the grim reaper no less than
three times during the past few
months. The late Miss Willard died
following an attack of appendicitis.
The first death to occur in the fam
lily was that of Mr. Wizards mother
which occurred I'm the east some time
ago. While attending the funeral OF
his mother, Mr.. Willard was notified
by telegram that his wife had passed
away at the family home in Marquette
and he returned there following the
burial of his mother to attend the las
sad rites of his wife Now comes tho
third affliction, the loss of his daugh'
ter
Mr.. Willard, too has been personally
unfortunate. While alighting from
street car in Marquette recently hi
slipped and fell, breaking one of his
arms.
The late Miss Willard was visitins
friends in Calumet when she wa'
stricken with appendicitis. 1t was de-
cided to remove her to the Calume
public hospital for treatment, and thi'
was accomplished early this week. Tn
news of her death will be received
with deep regret both here and IL
/ Marquette, she being we'll known u
both the iron and copper countries.
The late Miss Willard was an ex
Iceptionally bright and attractive youni
woman, and her early demise is a SAL
blow to her surviving relative, she be
ing his only child. This makes Mr.
Wizards loss all the more severe.
The decedent taught school in Han
cock all last year.
The remains will likely be shipped
TO Chester, VT. on this evenings train
for interment in that city.

fighters to appear to the police depart
ment at least twenty -four hours before

not held any bouts and declares he will
not, even for the private entertainment
