Mrs. P. o. Anderson.
Death came to Mrs. P. o. Anderson
at 10:45 Thursday night, April 21st.
Five weeks before she went to the
Samaritan Hospital for minor opera
ton, and it was thought that in about
two weeks she would be we'll again.
But her nervous temperament, superin-
duced by an attack of erysipelas left
her in a rather precarious condition one
week later. The erysipelas was con-
fined to the head and neck and was
soon checked, but it effected the entire
system. The patient became delirious
and remained that way until she lost all
consciousness the beginning of last
week. She kept slowly sinking until
the end came. Mr.. Anderson, who had
gone to Hankinson to visit his sister,
was called back by wire and had been
with the sick one good deal of the
time for the past four weeks.

was removed to the home of her niece,
Mrs. A. R. Wright. Funeral services
were held at the residence at three
o'clock on Saturday afternoon, Rey. B.

Ryder and Taber sang two beautiful
duets at the service. The remains
were taken to the Glendale cemetery
