Receive News of Sister’s Sudden Death In Grand Rapids.

C. W. Duvall and Mrs. Mary D. Eger received word this Saturday morning that their sister, Mrs. W. H. Cornell, formerly Miss Jennie Duvall, had died the night before. The news was a great shock to them, as she had been in good health when they last heard from her. They learned none of the particulars of her death but presume, that it must have occurred suddenly. Mr. and Mrs. Duvall and Mrs. Eger left for there on the 10:05 train. John Duvall, who made his home with Mrs. Cornell during the several years he was in Grand Rapids, joined them at Hammond, and accompanied them. It is presumed that the funeral will be held at Grand Rapids. Mrs. Cornell will be remembered here as Miss Jennie Duvall. She had been away for about twenty-five years, although she had frequently visited here, the last time about three years ago. She was about 48 years of age and leaves a busband and two grown children.
