DICKINSON GIRL
DIES IN THE WEST

The sad news of the death of Mrs.
Roy Breedlove, last Sunday evening
in Imperial, California, was received
by friends in the city the past week,
death resulting from an appendicitis
operation last Thursday.
Mrs. Breed1ove is better remem-
bered here as Miss Grace Montague,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Alex Mon
tague.. She spent most of her girl
hood in Dickinson, residing with her
father and part of the time at the
home of her uncle and aunt, Mr.. and
Mrs. A. c. McGillivray. She gradu-
ated from the Dickinson high school
and about five years ago left with
her father : for San Diego, Calf.
Later Mrs. Breedlove specialized in
domestic science IN the east and was
engaged in teaching in the Imperial,
California, high school before getting
married, over three years ago.
Following her operation on Thurs
day, Mrs. Breedlove seemed to be re-
covering very nicely but suddenly re-
lapsed. Her aunt, Mrs. Mary Nc
Gillivray, who was spending some
time in Michigan, wrote that She was
leaving for Imperial Immediately upon
receiving the news.
