Death of Mrs. Barbara Meyer.

Mrs. Barbara Meyer, mother of former postmaster Frank B. Meyer, died shortly after noon last Saturday, She was more than 80 years of age, but her exact age could not be ascertained. She has been in falling health for a long time, and about three weeks ago slipped and fell while out on the porch of her home on Van Rensselaer street. Since then her decline has been very rapid and Friday noon It became evident that the end was not tar distant Since her accident she has been constantly in care of her daughter-in-law, Mrs. F. B. Meyer, and of Mrs. Dickinson, a nurse. Marshall Hollowell, of Rushville, who shot himself and his sweetheart Miss Mary Ertle, last spring, following a Jealous eetrangment, but who regained the girl’s affections when both recovered, has been operated on for the old wound and likely will die. ■ 4' i ‘ ■ i
