MRS. il. LAKE or RUTH
DIES SUDDENLY IN UTAH

Gloom was cast over the entire
community during the week when tel
egrams were received announcing the
sad death of Mrs Jack Lake. which
occurred at Holy Cross hospital in
Salt Lake City last Monday.
Mrs. Lake had been resident of
Ruth for about ten years and during
that tine had not only become known
as woman of splendid character. but
her heart of gold endeared her to all
with whom she came in contact, and
she instilled into others not only a
feeling of admiration and respect but
her repeated acts of charity and kind
ness won for her that pure love which
can never die. Her loss will not only
be keenly felt in the circles where
true womanhood plays its great part,
but the announcement of her death
brought sorrowing tears to the eyes
of the little children who made 1t a
part of their daily life to call upon
the lovable woman on their way to
and from school, and these without
exception will miss the kindly pat of
her hand upon their cheeks as well
as the little delicacies which she al
ways kept in store for them as they
called.
Mrs. Lake, whose maiden name was
Margaret Edwards, was born within
a few miles of Evanston, Wyo., and
was 3s years of age last August. With
her family she went to live in the
town of Evanston when but a baby
and there she married John L. Lake
eighteen years ago. Her husband
came to Ruth about the time opera
tions opened up there on large scale
and has for some years past been
master mechanic for the Nevada Con-
solidated. AS soon as he could ar
range their home at the mine city his
wife Joined him and resided there
until she went to Salt Lake City on
Thursday of last week to consult q
specialist. under the advice of DR.. r.
A Bowdle, from whom she had been
receiving medical attention. While to
her intimate friends it had been
known that Mrs. Lake had not en-
joyed good health for some years
past. she did not let 1t become gen.
orally known that she was i'll, fear
ing no doubt, that such a thought
might be the cause of some discom-
fort 70 her friends, whose pleasure
and happiness were always upper
most in her mind. When asked by
her numerous friends as TO her health
she would invariably reply, Il ami
Just fine
After spending a few days at the
Steptoe Valley hospital she was ad-
vised by DR. Bowdle to go to Salt
Lake and consult specialist as to a
thyroid operation. This she did and
word was received by letter Saturday
night that the specialist whom she
consulted gave her much encourage
ment but that she would spend about
a week in the hospital preparing for
the operation. From this 1t was
gathered that she had not been OPP
Grated upon when death suddenly
called her and the exact cause has
not yet become known here.

Mrs. Lake. who has made her home
at Ruth with her daughter, left last
