DIED.—J. C. Rosencrans received a
dispatch from Independence yesterday
morning conveying the sad intelligence
of the death of his wife.
Mrs. Rosencrans had been in poor
health for several months and was at
that place for treatment, and Mr.
Rosencrans received a letter from the
doctor Tuesday afternoon saying that
she was apparently improving again.
She had been there before and had
returned home feeling much better,
and it was only a week ago since,
when failing health again caused her
to go down for treatment. The news
came with almost crushing force to
the afflicted husband. The deceased
was about fifty-five years of age and
has been a resident of Oelwein for
about five years. The funeral services
will be held in the Presbyterian church
at two o'clock this afternoon, after
which the remains will be laid to rest
in the cemetery here. The sympathy
of the entire community will go out
to the bereaved one in this hour of
severe affliction.
