LONG SICKNESS ENDS IN MRS. LEE’S DEATH

Rheumatism and Brights Disease Com bine, to Destroy Life of Splendid Wife and Mother.

At about 1:30 o’clock this Monday morning death came into the home of Walter R. Lee, and left lifeless the body of the wife and mother who had long been an invalid and much of the time an intense sufferer. Death came following a weakness in the heart action that became apparent to the husband and mother and the attending physician at 5 o’clock Sunday afternoon and which gradually failed Amtil the end came. Mrs. Lee was conscious' until the last and died just as her husband at her request was changing her position in the bed. She was a patient sufferer and bore up during her long sickness with great fortitude, realizing for some time that the battle she was making was sure to be lost. Mrs. Lee suffered her first attack of rheumatism four years ago and trips to the sanitarium at Martinsville and to Colorado Springs afforded little if any relief. While at the latter place several months ago she suffered some heart trouble that made it necessary to bring her to a lower altitude. For some months the rheumatism had been improved, only to be followed with a more certain means of death, Brights disease. For two months or more she has failed rapidly and on severel occasions was very near to the point of death. Mrs. Lee’s maiden name was Rose B. Lutz. Her age was 37 years on the 22nd of last February. Her marriage to Walter R. Lee occurred 17 years ago last spring. She is survived by her husband and their three sons, Archie, aged 16; Cecil, aged 14, and Howard, aged 3. Also by her mother, Mrs. Laura Lutz, three sisters and two ..brothers, viz. Mrs. John Maxwell, Mrs. Irene Arnott and Willis A. and Walter O. Lutz,- of Rensselaer, and / • Mrs. Clara Bickford, of Colorado.

The funeral will be conducted at the Pfesbyterian church Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock, by Rev. J. C. Parrett.
