MRS. JAMES GARRIOTT DIED TUESDAY P. M.

Acute Dilatation of Heart Follows Operation Performed for Tumor Saturday. Mrs. Malissa B. Garriott, aged Al ye&rs, 4 months and 24 days, wife of James K. Garriott, of Union township, died Tuesday evening at about 6:45 at the Rensselaer hospital. Mrs. Garriott was operated on last Saturday for the removal of an abdominal tumor. She seemed to come out from the operation in fairly good condition and her condition was regarded very favorable until Tuesday morning, when an acute dilatation of the heart set in and the attending physicians at once regarded her chances of getting through the attack as doubtful. The heart continued to enlarge during the day and death came at the hour stated. Deceased was the daughter of Malachi P. Comer and was born in Jasper county, Aug. 14, 1865. Besides the bereaved husband several children are left to mourn her death. The funeral will be held at the Christian church at 11 o’clock Thursday morning, being conducted by Rev. A. J. Brock, pastor of the Brushwood United Brethren church. Burial will be made in Weston cemetery.
