II 1911, aged eighty-siX years. She
had not been well for some time

sixteen years. Soon after this was
closed the Kellam bridge was finish
ed and they took a position attend
ing the bridge until her death. Mr..
Bailey died about a year and half

Nellie, daughter of John Sossen-
heimer, of this place, died in Roose-
welt Hospital, New York city, on
January after twelve weeks of in
tense suffering. Nellie was born in
Chapmantown on March 10, 1878,
and was the oldest daughter of John
Sossenheimer and wife, nee Matilda
Catterson. The latter died twenty
five years ago and left three little
girls, and Nellie had to be house
keeper for her father, and mother to
the two tiny sisters, and neighbors
can tell how faithfully and sweetly
she did it, She lived home till her
fathers second marriage, when she
worked out in several families where
there were small children, and was
always dearly loved by them. Eight
or nine years ago she went to New
York and became a member of her
uncle's family and began dressmak-
ing which she continued until her
marriage four years ago to Robert
Nastrom, New York City, where they
made their home. Her health was
never good and the last few years
her eyes began to fail till she was
nearly blind Last February she be-
gan to have cough which grew
worse. On October 13 she nearly
died from heart failure. She seemed
to rally from this but two weeks
later dropsy set in. She could not
swallow medicine or food, nor could
anything be done to promote the ac-
tion of the kidneys. She grew de-
lerious while the water slowly crept
up to her waist. AS a last resort she
was taken to the hospital three
weeks ago, where she was put under
treatment of sweating but it was
of no avail. All the love of the
aunt, who had cared for her so kind
ly in her sickness; of her uncle and
husband; the care of trained nurses,
and the skill of doctors could keep
her no longer. The poisoned water
crept over her heart and a little past
midnight on the night of January
4, death had relieved poor Nellie of
her terrible suffering. Her uncle
brought the body home January G,
and the following day funeral SER
