A Sad and Sudden Death.

It is our painful duty to announce the sudden and unexpected death of Mrs. Addie Quivey, wife of Dr. E. E. Quivey, the dentist, which occurred about seven o’clock, last Monday evening. The cause of her death was Spasmodic Asthma, a disease from which she had long been a sufferer. She had attempted to eat some supper at about 7 o’clock, but feeling too sick to eat, had gone into her sitting room, leaving her husband and infant son at the table. She had scarcely got into the room before she felt a paroxysm of the disease approaching and called J) er husband. He came and immediately called Miss Babcock, who rooms near, to his aid. Mrs. Quivey had experienced such attacks before and neither herself nor the doctor were seriously alarmed and when Miss Babcock suggested that a physician be sent for, Mrs. Quivey objected, but the doctor went across the street and called Dr. Bitters, by telephone, from his residence. He arrived in ft short time and at once saw that the case was very dangerous. After a short time, at his request, Dr. Loughridge was also called, but medical remedies were powerless to relax the contracted fibers which -were shutting the air from the lungsand in less than a half hour after the first attack, she expired. Mrs. Quivey, a most estimable Ipdy, was about 24 years old. She was married about two years ago, and besides her loving and sorrowing husband leaves behind her a bright and beautiful infant son, of the tender age of only ten months. Several of the doctor’s relatives and friends were' notified of the occurrence, and his mother came on the train from Chicago, Tuesday , a<d other reitttrvuß front Lafayette, an the same day, and on the 10:30 p m. train that night the party started for North Manchester, the former home of the deceased, with the remains, and there the funeral will be held to-day.
