Woman Was Stricken
AT Birthday Party
Seized With Fatal Illness While
Entertaining Guests at Her
Somers Point Home.

Mrs. Frank Schmidt, a Philadelphia
resident who has been spending some
time at Somers Point with her hus-
band and daughter Elsie, was sudden
ly stricken with a fatal illness last
Saturday night, while entertaining a
number of guests at a birthday party
at her home, corner of Sunny and
Groveland avenues. She died early on
Sunday morning.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Schmidt have
been visitors at Somers Point for some
time past, and enjoyed their stays so
much that they had decided to reside
there during the summer months.
They had built a home for this pur-
pose in Launch Haven. In celebration
of Mrs. Schmidt's birthday, and for
the purpose of holding a house warm
ing, a number of the friends of the
couple were invited to spend Saturday
evening with them.
During the latter part of the eve
ming Mrs. Schmidt was taken very i'll,
and the party came to a sudden con-
clusion. A doctor was sent for, but all
that was done proved OF no avail.
Funeral services will take place
from her Philadelphia home, N. Sixth
street, this Wednesday afternoon, at
2 o'clock.
