MRS. JOE NAGLE’S MOTHER DIES.

Mrs. Clara Eberle died suddenly June 19th at her home, 1021 north Ninth street. Her son, John Eberle, who lives on a farm, two miles north of Lafayette, with his wife and childcame into town last evening to do some shopping. Mr. and Mrs. Eberle left the children with their grandmother while they went down to the stores. The elder Mrs. Eberle was reading to the children when she suddenly fell from her chair to the floor. She gave no warning of feeling ill and was in her usual good health up to the time of tbe attack. It is thought that she suffered a stroke of apoplexy. The children tried to arouse their grandmother, but it was not until Mr. and Mrs. Eberle returned that assistance was summoned. Life had been extinct for at least an hour, and it is thought death came instantly with the fall. Dr. Charles W. Shill, the coroner, was called to view the body. Mrs. Eberle was sixty-six years old on June 12th last and she was an excellent woman. She was a devout member of St. Boniface’s congregation and was charitable to a great degree. Her husband died five years ago this month. Four children survive, John Eberle, Mrs v Joseph Nagle, of Rensselaer; Sister Modesta and Sister Bartholomea, of the Sisters of St. Francis. The sisters are stationed in Kansas.—Lafayette Journal.
