Mrs. George Devine died quite suddenly at her home in Livermore last Monday night between nine and ten o'clock of heart failure. Mrs. Devine had been in her usual good health, even up to the day of her death, and there was no warning that the end was near, when she suddenly collapsed, with only time for a faint farewell to her husband. Dr. Mullin was immediately summoned, and ten minutes after his arrival her spirit had departed. Mr. and Mrs. Devine moved to Livermore from near Irvington last fall, buying a place in town, with the intention of making this their future home.

Three children survive the mother, being Clifford, Theodore and Ralph, aged eight, five and two respectively. She also leaves three brothers, George and Will at Cambridge, and Harvey at Maxwell, and two sisters, Mrs. Nettie Nokes at Nevada, and Mrs. Chas. Paddleford at Austin, Minn.

Deceased was born at Nevada, June 19th, 1880, and was 28 years, 10 months and 7 days old. Her maiden name was Lucille Pointer. She was married March 14, 1900. Her sister, Mrs. Nettie Nokes is here from Nevada, Iowa, assisting the family during the funeral.

The services were held today at ten o'clock, at the Presbyterian church, Rev. Wiggins officiating, and the burial takes place in the Irvington Cemetery.
