and with relatives and planning what
she would do as soon as she began to
regain strength, having shown symp-
toms of recovery that day and the day
before. Two hours later she became UNI
conscious and died without speaking
again. Physicians attending her stated
that blood cIot had formed on the
brain. causing death.
The sudden and utter unexpectedness
OF the sad death may be understood from
the fact that even her only son, Glen,
had not been summoned and she had not
felt her condition serious enough to have
him leave his school work at the agri-
cultural college. Never by word or &C
had she signified that she in any way
felt the approaching end. Instead, she
was still hoping that bv the first of June
she would be sufficiently recovered that
she and MIR. Turner could drive their car
to Fargo to bring Glen home when his
school work was finished. Mr.. Turner
and her mother. Mrs. Boswell, were at
the bedside in the last moments.

automobile was waiting for him. Mrs.

especially to the husband SO suddenly
left alone. For nearly nineteen years
they had met life's fortunes and reverses
together They have always been 50
situated that they were thrown together
not only in the evenings, but during
working hours as we'll. Seldom did the
one leave home, if but for a day or two,
that the other was not along. It's a
lad blow to him, to the motherless son
Just arriving at mans estate and to the
other bereaved relatives. But they all
mnst know and appreciate the sympathy
of the many friends who stand ready
and willing to assist them in any wayto
bear the sad loss.
