SUDDEN DEATH OF MRS. A. E. BRAND

Acute Attack of Pneumonia Removes Woman of Much Worth After Very Brief Illness. No death tor a long time has caused a greater shock in the community than the passing away at 5 o’clock this Friday morning of Mrs. Albert Brand, formerly Miss Dora English. She had been sick only since Monday night and only a few seemed to have learned of he£ sickness. Mrs. Brand was seized with an acute attack of pneumonia and it assumed a serious condition at once. The family doctor was called Monday night and found one lung seriously affected. By Thursday morning, however, she seemed some better but by noon of that day she again became much worse. The heart was unable to keep up the effort to pump blood into the affected lung and it took powerful stimulants to revive her. Again she improved only to suffer another attack in the night that could not be overcome.

Mrs. Brand was the youngest child of John English and was born 45 years ago in Barkley township. On Nov. 14, 1906, only eight years ago, she was married to Albert E. Brand and to their union was born one child, Mary E, “ftfafid. Only a few rhonths ago her siste< Mrs. English, died, and it is not a great while since Mr. Brand’s mother died.’ The family has certainly been greatly" afflicted.'. The funeral arrangements have been deferred pending the receipt of word from her sister, Mrs. J. D. Brosnahan, of Keisling, Wash. It will be conducted by Rev. W. G. Winn, now of Irving Park, 111., assisted by Rev. G. W. Titus.
