Mrs. Rhodes was in her usual health Wednesday morning, but shortly after the noon hour had a fainting spell and never regained consciousness, death following eight hours later. On Tuesday she had written her mother in this city, but there was nothing in the letter to give the slightest indication that she was ill. Mrs. Davisson spent her entire lifetime in this city prior to her marriage a few years ago, and since that .time she.hadpaid frequent visits here. She was graduated from the Rensselaer schools in the class of 1914, and was recognized as one of the most brilliant scholars ever to finish the school course here. She possessed characteristics which are equalled by but few and her death coming so early in life is indeed a blow to her relatives and friends. She was born in 1893 and was twenty-six years of age when death occurred. Deceased is survived by her husband and one child; her smother, Mrs. E. S. Rhodes, of this city; two brothers, Donald and Edward, also of this city, besides other relatives and friends. The funeral arrangements have not been completed, but the remains will be brought to this city for burial.
