She lived in Chicago for several years and was engaged at dress” making most of the time. It was during her stay there that their only child Lola died and was back here for burial only 2 or 3 years ago. But since that .time she has suffered considerable nervous breakdowns and worry which resulted in her de>th. Her body was brought here for burial in Osborne cemetery where the rest of the family that have preceded her are buried. Only a few people outside of relatives attended the burial.. Sunday morning about 3 a. m., Mrs. R. V. Johns- was awakened by the noise of someone walking in the summer kitchen. Her first thoughts was that Mr. Johns or their son Robb, was up for something, but on hearing the noise again she called to Mr. Johns who was in an adjoining room. Finding all the family asleep, it mighty soon developed that a thief was out in the summer kitchen. Just ias Mr. Johns sprung from his bed he heard, the thief open the door and make good his escape. Nothing was missing however except a loaf of bread and some butter. In making his escape the intruder upset some fruit jars.
