MRS. ACME XKLSOX MEE,

The sad death of Mrs. Allle -Nelson Mee occurred at the home of her parents, 517 South Hohman street, Saturday evening at 8 o'clock. At her bedside at the time of her death were the members of her Immediate family and the attending physician. Mrs. Mee has been seriously ill for the past three month?, but she has not been well for several years. Her death is attributed to psuedo luekemla, from which she has long been a sufferer. The funeral will be held from the residence at 9:30 o'clock and will be attended by only the most intimate friends of the deceased. At 10:30 the funeral cortege will leave for akwoods cemetery, Chicago, where the Interment will take place. Rev. Charles Albert Smith of Hammond will officiate. The pallbearers will be Hammond j-oung men, who were Mrs. Mee's schoolmates. They are: Victor Dyer, John F. Sawyer, Franklin, Blackmu n, Harvey Gostlin, Gerald Glllett and Karl Griffin. Mrs. Mee is survived by her parents, a little daughter, Mary Elizabeth Mee, and her sister, Mae Nelson. Her death is the cause for unfeigned sorrow among her many friends in this city. She was only 28 years old at the time of her death, and that she should have been removed from the midst of friends at that age is deplored. Yesterday and today the members of the family have been in receipt of numerous messages of condolence, for the decedent, was beloved by ajl who knew her. Mrs. Mee was a graduate Of the Hammond high school. Soon after this she went to the Misses Ely's school in New York, where she was graduated. Mrs. Mee was a favorite In the younger social set of the city, and until lately, when her illness limited her sphere, she participated in all of the activities of the younger crowd. Her memory will be cherished by the many friends In this city, who knew her and sympathized with her In the sorrow which her protracted illness caused.
