Mrs. High, Wife of Albert High, living on the Johnson street road near Sugar Creek, died very suddenly yesterday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock at Mooar while visiting her brother, William Danford. Her death was the result of a hemorrage of the brain.

Mrs. High, who was but thirty-three years of age, had always enjoyed excellent health. Yesterday morning in company with her daughter, the two went to Mooar to visit for a short time. With little warning Mrs. High was taken abed with a hemorrage of the brain and lingered for several hours. During this time she was conscious of her surroundings but was unable to utter a word. The news of her death was a severe shock to her husband and relatives.

Born Near Keokuk, Iowa.
As Dela May Danford, the deceased was born near Keokuk and would have been thirty-four years of age had she lived until February 21. Seventeen years ago she was united in marriage to Albert High and to this union have been born four children. Mrs. High was a devout member of the Christian church of Sugar Creek and funeral services will be held at that church tomorrow afternoon at 1 o'clock. The body will then be placed in the vault in Oakland cemetery.

The surviving relatives are a husband, three brothers, and two sisters.

The sympathy of Keokuk people and the people of Sugar Creek is extended to the relatives in their bereavement.
