mourned in the family circle. Two
years ago she had an attack of inf1u-
enza that later developed into Brights
disease that caused a weakened con-
vulsions. She had been up and around
the house seemingly in good spirits
until the Saturday morning prior to
her death when she was seized with
a violent attack of stomach trouble
that caused a CONFUSION that rem
dered her unconscious for the time
being Regaining consciousness the
priest and a doctor were summoned
but all that spiritual consolation and
medical aid could do was of no avail.
CONFUSION after CONFUSION followed
and Sunday at 1920 o'clock, sur
rounded by her parents, sisters and
brothers, she passed away. She was
deyout Catholic and died with all the
rights of the religion. She is mourned
by her parents, four sisters, Mary,

Petition for Highway Change
petition to the town board of SUI
pervisors is being circulated asking
for a change in the highway leading
into Tennyson. There are two very
dangerous curves but a few feet apart
on this highway that should be avoid
ed before an accident occurs which is
liable at any time. There is little need
of giving the location of these curves
and everyone who has driven in and
out of Tennyson knows where they
are and loud has been the condemna-
ton of them.
