DEATH OF MRS. AApLock

The sudden death of Mrs. J. c. Had lock at 7:30 o'clock Wednesday, came as a shock to the community. Mrs. Hadlock had been seemingly in her usual health all day and had made no complaint as to any felling of illness, having gone about her household du- ties as usual. About half past six she
 became suddenly ill and physicians were hastily summoned but within an hour she was dead. l.raemic poison- ing was the cause of death. Her hus-
 band. fairly stunned at his sudden and
 great loss; four children. the oldest
 seven and the youngest five months;
 her parents, and other relatives, all living here. are left as mourners over the untimely demise of this always happy and lovable young wife and mother.
 Mrs. Hadiock was the darglter of Mir. and Mrs. J. l.. Spain and was mar ried to MT. Hadlock eight years ago. She was a native of this valley and
 was twenty years of age. Having resided here all her life. she numbered her friends by the hundreds and their sympathy is extended to the family in their sore trial.

TWO RESIDENTS
 CALLED BY DEATH

Ephriam s. Anderson passed away yesterday morning at eight o'clock. his death being caused directly by pneu- monia to which he succumbed after very brief illness. Friends who had re- mained at his bedside during the night left him sleeping quietly at day0reak. and his sudden death was therefore unexpected. although. his advanced age of over eighty years was considered as initiating against the proba ability of his full recovery.
 Mir. Anderson came to Mesa some years ago from Harrisburg, Penn.. and ever since his arrival here he has built up steadily and withou. wayward step . reputation for sterling manhood and devout Christian character. His man. .ner of life had endeared him 10 all who knew him. and Father Anderson will
 be missed by many friends He was an earnest member of the
 Church of Christ. and his efforts to shown in the readiness of his purse as well as his voice and actions. Three daughters. the Misses Ander- son and Mrs. Joe Rhoden. were with him at the time of his death, which , occurred at the family residence on West Second street.
 The funeral will be held at the Chris tian church at l:30 D. m. Sunday. Elder A. F. Harper. who recently held meeting here. will preach the funeral sermon. w. F. Burton and sons have prepared the body for shipment to Har- risburg, Penn, where it will be in- tered beside that of his wife.
