Mrs. F. L. Young of Los Angeles,
Cal, informs the Palladium Of the
death of Mrs. Luella (James) Hoyt,
which occurred at San Diego, Cal, on
February 18th. The death of Mrs
Hoyt came as painful surprise and
shock to her many friends in Los
Angeles and elsewhere, she having
gone to San Diego only a week ago
to be near her son, Leon, who is in
training at Camp Kearney. She was
taken i'll, and lived only short time.
Heart trouble was the cause of her
death. Much sympathy is expressed

her sister, Mrs. Addie Porter, who
husband, the late Geo. R. Hoyt, died
Nov. 22d. Mrs. Hoyt will be pleas
antly remembered by many of our
readers as former resident of Troy
and Westfeld.
