DEATH OF FOEn1GR RESIDENT.
Mahnomcn Pioneer: Mrs. Flora jose
phine Lavoi, wife of Alphonse Lavoi,
of Naytahwaush, died at her home,
, Wednesday, Oct. 20, after an illness cx-
tending over a period of four years.
tuberculosis was the cause OF her
death. The funeral will be held at
lNaytahwaush at 10 o'clock this morn
ing, Rev. FIR. Felix of Ponsford, will
conduct the services.
| Mrs Lavoi, whose maiden name was
Roy, was born at Little Falls, Mar. 10,
ISL, where she lived until coming to
the reservation with her mother in an
early day. For many years she was en-
ployed as matron at the government
school at Beaulicu. Here she formed
an extensive acquaintance not only
among the members Of the reservation
but among the employees of the govern
mcnt and the white settlers that had
come on to the reservation at that time.
This acquaintance developed many
warm friendships that have since exist
cd and during the long illness there
have been friends watching and in
quiring.
I In 1905, after her marriage to Mr..
Lavoi, they lived on farm in Rose
dale, until her health commenced to
fail. They moved to Naytahwaush hop
ing that the rest and open air on the
lakes here would restore her to health,
but the disease had maze TOO great pro-
grcss to effect cure. She was bcnc-
fitted by the change and doubtless some
years were added to her life.
Mrs. Lavoi is survived by her hus-
band, three little boys and one girl.
The children are Napolcan, IL years Of
age; Sidney, 7 years ola; Howard, + and
Philomcnc, 10. She also leaves two
brothers, John and Scraphine Roy, both
living here and five sisters. The sisters

VIM. Holden and Mrs. John Il. Peter
son Of Mahnomcn; Mrs. William Fair
banks Of Navtahwaush and Mrs. John
