Mrs. Ann Spain.

The unexpected death of Mrs. Ann
Spain, widow of the late Patrick
Spain, occurred at her home in this
city at an early hour Monday morn
ing Of this week. as a result of heart
failure. Mrs. Spain had been perfect
ly we'll up to less than an hour before
her death and had been at church on
the Sunday before as usual. During
the night she complained Of some ILL.,
ness and sent to her daughter Mrs. S.
A. Flaherty. who Immediately re-
sponded. She was helped into a
chair and talked very freely about her
condition, saying that she had no
pain whatever but that she seemed to
have some difficulty in breathing.
She soon returned to bed however,
where she expired SO quietly in few
moments that it was at first thought
Morris tribune., 1911-01-20

that she had only fallen asleep. A
doctor had been promptly called, but
when he arrived the patient was past
all human aid.
Deceased had long been resident
of Stevens County, having come here
with her husband and family from st.
Paul in 1879. She was born in the
county of Sligo, Ireland, and was
seventy seven years of age at the
time of her death. She was married
to Mr.. Spain in 1867 and is survived
by her two daughters. Mrs. S. A.
Flaherty. of this city. and Mrs. A.
E. Hawkinson, of Litchfeld, and by
one son, William Spain. of Mime
apolis. All through her long, cheer
full and useful life she had been most
highly esteemed for her good.
womanly qualities. Until she passed
away she possessed. without any i'm !
pairment. a bright, keen mind and a
memory that was wonderfully reten-
tive and ready. Her numerous
friends sincerely lament her death
and sympathize with her realitves in
their loss. Her life was success.
and the world the better and happier
for her having lived in it.
The funeral was held on Wednes-
day from the Assumption church.
Those from outside who attended be-
ing Rev. P. J. Boland, DR.. and Mrs.
A. E. Hawkinson, of Litchfield, and
Mrs. Dougherty. of Willmar.
