 The following particulars of the death Of Ruth, taken from the Ros- well Evening News of January 2s, will be of interest to many readers of this paper:
 To those who did not know that she was seriously Il and those who were not aware of her alarming con dition, the announcement of the death of Miss Ruth Bsasley, the Latin teacher in the Roswell High School, who passed away at St. Mary's hospi- tai last night at eight o'clock will come as distinct shock.
 Miss Beasley passed to her last sleep after an illness of only few days. She was taken sick last week, removed to the hospital where the best treatment possible was given her, but all was in vain. Sunday morning at three o'clock she lapsed into uneonsciousness and she never rallied from this stupor.
 Miss Beasley was born in Cassville, Missouri, on the 3lst day of January, 1895. She lived most of her life in the big central state. receiving a good education and preparing herself in college for the work of teaching. She was a most excellent Latin student, and mastered the language well and taught it with ease to those who came under her supervision.
 She came to Roswell last September and has been in the High School dur iny her stay here. Last October she suffered from a slight attack Of ln- fluenza. when the pandemic was just beginning, but she seemed to recover from this without i'll effects. in fact. she is said to have declared tna' she never had been in better health in her life than when recovering from that diesase.
 She was gaining strength and en- toying herself to the utmost when the last illness came and she was called away Some doctors believe that her death resulted from auto-lri- toxication as an indirect result of lh- fluenza but of this they are uncertain.
 Her mother arrived on last .i n'gh' .s : belated train to be at the bedside oi her daughter but never saw he' n any other than the unconscious saA.,, n''.s
 With the passing of Miss Ruth Beasley Roswell loses one of the iins characters we are not often priV'leee' to see. She was type Of woman hood that is a joy and beauty TOT ever She went at her work with al a, eager willingness and won her papll m to her by gentleness and strens'n l.;a, ' character. She was patient, kih' and thoughtful, three attributes s.. wl's. stand out when many other lhns. h,s,. things the world is won't to ''l. tiful have faded into nothingne,s, :. ].
