Mrs. Barney Fronkron died last night at 12 o'clock from uraemic poisoning which developed from an abscess on her head. She leaves her husband and four children: Martha, Velma, Burton and Ralph, having lost three in infancy. She is also survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Green of Elroy, Wis., and two sisters, Mrs. Charles Hahn of Minnesota and Mrs. Bruce Hogle of Clinton. No arrangements had been made for the funeral this morning.
