Apoplexy was the cause of the sudden death of Mrs. William E. Condra yesterday noon at her home, 321 North Twenty-Third streel. Her husband, the well known police officer, had come home to dinner and she met him at the gate in her apparent usual good health. After putting the dinner on the tbale she sat down beside her husband and complained of a slight headache, remarking that it might be caused by the hot room. Then suddenly she fell over into her husband’s arms and before the neighbors could arrive she had died. Mrs. Condra, who before her marriage was Phoebe McKee, was born and reared in Benton county. She was 47 years old and had been twice married. Her first husband, William L. Yancy, died twenty-two 'years ago. Two children survive that union, William D. and Earl Yancy. She was married to William E. Condra in September, 1899, and two children survive this union, Ethel E. and Bruce Condra.
