Gilbert Davis received a letter, last Saturday, which contained the sad news of the death of his mother, which occurred Oct 26th, at the family home near Lardo, Idaho. She died of typhoid fever which is almost epidemic in that vicinity. She died quite unexpectedly after only a few days illness. Two others of the family are now ill with the same disease, but are both out of danger.
