Sudden Death.
While returning from an entertainment last Friday night, Miss Dora Pierce, who was making her home with her sister, Mrs. Henry Baker, in Waukon, fell to the ground unconscious. She was taken into a house nearby and medical aid summoned, but she did not regain consciousness and died in about two hours. Her death was a great shock to her family. She had been unusually merry during the evening and her death was so sudden that it could scarcely be realized. Funeral services were held Sunday.

Transcriber’s Note: Find a Grave shows she is buried in Oakland Cemetery and was born Dec. 17, 1883 and died Dec. 6, 1900.
