Nellie Conrad Howard

A sad death indeed was that
of this young matron, the moth
er of two small children and the
wife of Fred Howard Sunday.
She was the daughter of George
Conrad, deceased and one Of the
striking figures of young wo-
manhood and by all reasoning,
entitled to more than she ever
got out of life, for, with half
the advantage possessed by
thousands of young women, she
would have been a distinguish
ed woman.
She leaves her husband and
two small children and a number
of relatives to mourn her loss,
but they will all rejoice in the
thot that she was perfectly re-
signed to the inevitable.
