critical illness of her husband. Mr..

her daughter, Rose, who was employ
ed in the telephone office at Conrad

in order to be at the bedside of her
father. In the meantime Mrs. Hall
went to Salida and ministered to the
needs of the stricken man, but all
efforts of mother and daughter. as
well as skill of physicians and nurses.
proved futile and on Saturday, No
vember 18th, the soul of Mr. Hall
passed to it's reward.
Mr.. Hall had been away from this
city number of years and was en-
ployed as foreman of mining gang
about forty miles from Salida. He
was stricken suddenly with pneu-
monia. The men made a stretcher of
coats and hurried him to an auti-
mobile and he was taken to Salida by
relays in vain effort to save his
life.
The funeral occurred at Salida and
the body was inferred in Fairview
cemetery under the auspices of the
Salida Elks. of which order he was a
member.
Mrs. Hall and Rose arrived home
last week. They have the sympathy of
many friends in their unexpected be-
reavement. Miss Rose will remain
at home. as her mother is in poor
