MRS. SADIE DORSEY, a sister of W.D. SHELTON, who dropped dead while working in his garden two weeks before, died just as sudden as her brother, about 4 o'clock last Wednesday morning. Since the death of her brother, with whom she made her home, MRS. DORSEY had been staying at the home of SED CAMPBELL in Decatur. Last Wednesday morning about 4 o'clock, she arose to get a drink of water, and fell to the floor, expiring immediately. Physicians were called at once but they said she had died almost instantly, her death being caused from heart trouble.

MRS. DORSEY had been a resident of Decatur for many years and was a most estimable lady. Funeral services were held at Decatur, Friday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Henry Esch, of Cainsville, Mo. Interment was in the Decatur Cemetery.
