Mrs. Falkenheimer left her home at Guttenberg, Thursday in good health, and went to Dubuque, on a visit to the family of Mr. Tiede and other relatives and friends, in that city. Saturday, a short time before dinner, she was on the porch of Mr. Tiede's residence and complained of feeling nauseous, but attributing the feeling to something she had eaten thought no more of it, and went into the house, seated herself at the dinner table and partook of a very hearty meal. Soon after she left the table, a feeling of sickness again overcome her, and before anything could be done to alleviate her suffering she was taken with apoplexy, and died in a few minutes.
