Sank Centre citizens were deeply
grieved about noon Saturday when
word spread about the city that Mrs.

stunned by the announcement of her
death a short time later.
Mrs Ingram accompanied by her
neice, Beatrice Martyr, left Sank
Centre about the first of June for an
extended visit with relatives at Flint,
Mich, making the trip by auto. Just
before Mrs. Ingram and Beatrice
started on their return trip several
days prior to her death there was a
family reunion at Flint and Mrs. In
gram ate something at this outing
which gave her ptomaine poisoning
and it was necessary for her to stop
for time at Menominee, Wis, to
recuperate sufficiently to continue
her journey home.
Saturday morning Mrs. C.. D.
Marshall received a telephone mes
sage from Mrs. Ingram at Anoka in
which she said that she and Bee
would make the return trip home by
easy stages that day expecting to
reach Sank Centre by early evening.
