Telegram Announced Death Of
Husband, Instead Of Expected
News Of His Safety.

Special Correspondence Every Evening.
Seaford. July 2S.-Mrs. q. o. TILL
man OF Chincoteague. Va, who ar
rived here. Saturday. for a visit with
her aunt, Mrs. George w. Miiligan. a
few days ago performed the very sad
duty Of hurying her husband, whose
body recently arrived from France.
Mrs. Tillman was q bride OF only a
few days when her husband sailed
away to fight for his country. Shortly
after the signing OF the armistice he
contracted pneumonia and died.
His girl bride at home had not heard
OF his death. In his last letter to her
he told her he would soon be coming
horne and would cable her, so she
could meet him in New-York.
The young bride waited patiently
for the word to go meet her husband,
and when the messenger boy ap-
preached her home one day she was
sure he had a telegram for her from
her husband to come to New York
on the arrival OF the ship he was on.
But when she opened the telegram she
was Mortified to learn the contents
told of her husbands death by pneu-
monia overseas.
