On Monday, however, she became worse and the family physician was summoned. Before he reached the house, however, she had lapsed into unconsciousness from which she never Tuesday'another doctor was called into consultation and every thing possible was done but to no avail. She became unconscious at 2 o’clock Monday afternoon but lived until 9:10 Tuesday evening. The funeral will probably be held Thursday morning at 10 o’clock at St. Augustine’s Catholic church and burial will be made at Mt. Calvary cemetery.
