Mrs. Sophia Holtz Dies After a Three Days' Illness at Son's Home.

I(E N UAL REPORT

Mrs. Sophia Holtz, one of Hammond's pioneer and respected citiaeirs, died at the residence of her s,on, Robert Holtz, Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock

after an illness lasting hut a few days. The funeral will be held from the home of Robert Holts at South Hohman street near tlidgo road at 1 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. The remains will then be taken to the German. Lutheran church, where services will be held at 2 o'clock. The Rev, Klaua will conduct the services and Interment will be held at Oak Hill cemetery. Mrs. Holtz was taken 111 about four days ago and was confined to her bed. On account of her age and weakness she did not have the strength to carry her back to health again, and she pass

ed away at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Holtz la well known In Hammond, and was one of Hammond's pioneer citizens. She was 83 years old and came t America In 1884, from which timei she spent most of her time on

Webster avenue. About a year ago the old home was abandoned and she then

made her home with her son Robert

Holtz.

She is survived by seven children

Herman, Ernest and Robert Holts and

Mrs. A. Hoeh nermann of Hammond, Gut

tave Holtz, Milwaukee, Wis.; Rudolph

Holtz, Harris. Ia., and Mrs. R. Bluhm

of Hartley, la.

The usual report for St. Margaret's hospital. Hammond, shows that the institution had 1,208 patients during the year 1911. The salient feature In this report is that while there are hundreds of persons in Lake county who have faith in the efficiency of the hospital, its nurses and the medical profession which practices there, and also willing to pay for these services, there are many hundreds more to whom the charity of the sisters trust be extended. In fact this number nearly doubles that of the pay patients. The statistics for the number of patients and the classification of the cass is as follows: Pay 414 Charity 101

nurse these patients, and the same is

true of the partial pay patients. With 75 per cent being partial pay and charity patients and bearing In mind that the pay patients receive the same first-class nursing from the sisters and treatment from Lake county doctors that is given in the. best hospitals in Chicago, with this exception that the cost in St. Margaret's hospital is not half as large as in the out-of-town institutions, and that the other patients are given the same consideration one begins to" marvel at the business acumen of the sistfr superior who has been able thus far to make both ends meet. Lake county doctors who practice at St. Margaret's hospital regularly are as follows: Drs. Ansley. Brown, Buchanan, BIcknell, Campbell, Chidlaw,

Fauids, Fox, Goldenberger, Groman, Greenwald, Hoppler, Howat, Hale. Hoffman. Herzkovitz, Kelly, Lauer, "George E. Miller, Milestone, Merz, Oberlin. Orf, Ostrowski, Ross, Robinson, Schlieker, Sharrer, Shanklin. Sauer, Stawickl, Townsley, Wets and Young. St. Margaret's hospital was found In 1898 and has enjoyed a steady growth. It has at the present time twenty sisters and twenty-three lay employes.

Messrs. Behan and Patterson stat3 their proposition has no connection with

the Chicago Telephone company and to dispel all ideas that the latter corporation may be securing the automatic phone franchise merely to "salt It down"' and to keep out possible competitors they have caused to be incor
