devoted wife and mother called away,
and the son and brother also following.
The happy home robbed and broken
up, the family circle SO quickly, and
keenly broken, and all the plans for
the future shattered. The closest and
most efficient medical skill, care of able
nurses, and all loving hands could do
was all thwarted by the grim reaper
who heeds no pleas or yearnings of the
near and dear ones. a

Mrs. Lindgren was a fine woman,
highly respected by all who knew her:

dreadful things for this country If the
