DEATH Of MRS.
EDWARD GLEASON

The homes of Edward Gleason in
Port dwards and that OF B. R. Cog
eiIs in this city, as Well as the
community as a whole mourn the
sudden and untimeIy death of Mrs.
EaWard Gleason who passed away
tuesday evening, September twenty.
Iirst. Ii was supposed by immedi-
ale families and friends that Mrs.
Gleason was recovering nicely from
her recent illness but all of a sud
4en her life was snapped out by
Deam failure while apparently sleep
ing unknown to the attendants at
ner beGsiLs. The shock is therefor
great.
Mrs. Edwa ard Gleason was the only
daughter OF Mir. and Mrs. B. R. Cog
gins, we'll known residents OF Grand
Rapids. She was born in this city
March Is, 1884 and she died at heI
parents home on Tuesday evening,
september Il 1915. She was married
august ., 1914 to Mr.. Edward GIea-
son OF Port Edwards
She was a graduate of the Lincoln
High school, and attended the Dow
ner College at Milwaukee one year
ma Tire State Normal at Stevens
Point Tor one year. Her education
and accomplishments were ideal as
well as her home life and future
prospects were very encouraging and
to Te thus cut down in early life is
truly very sad and is greatly to be
regretted. She was a delightful wo-
man to meet with and she will be
greatly missed by her husband and
immediate relatives and many
friends.
The funeral services will be held
from the house at two thirty o.
cIc,ok OH Thursday afternoon and at
the N. f. church at three O'Clock,
