Is Laid to Rest

wife of Sheriff William Culverwell.
in Los Angeles last Monday. March
IT, came as q shock to the whole
community. although she had been
i'll for several months and her recov-
cry was doubtful. She had had vul-
vular leakage of the heart for years
and when she contracted influenza
about four months ago was unable
to combat it owing to the weakened
condition of her heart. Mr.. Culver
well took his wife to Los Angeles
some time ago in the hope that the
lower altitude would benefit her, but
while she rallied at times she was
unable to regain the strength neces-
sary to overcome the disease. She
expired on her twenty-seyenth birth
day.

of Mr.. and Mrs. James Price and was
born in Eureka, Utah, March IL,
1892, coming to Phoebe with her
parents in 1896 when but years
old. She spent her girlhood in Pi-
oche and was married to William
Culverwell December 20, 1909, the
family moving to Caliente about two
years ago.
The deceased was educated in the
public schools of Phoebe and leaves
many friends throughout the county
who are deeply grieved at her un-
timely departure. Her passing is
rendered the more sad from the fact
that she leaves little 4-year-old
daughter, Louise, who will miss the
love of a devoted mother. Besides
! her husband and daughter she is
survived by her father, James Price
of Phoebe; two sisters, Mrs. Dan j
