MISS CHRISTINA LAMBERT DIES WHILE AT WORK

Is Seen to Suddenly Stagger and Fall--Death Follows Shortly Afterwards--Heart Failure Believed Cause.

Grandview, Iowa, May 25,--(Special)--Miss Christina Lambert aged 27 years, died suddenly at 6:30 o'clock last evening at the home of Weilyie, three miles west of this place, where she was employed as a housekeeper.

Though the cause of Miss Lambert's death has not been definitely determined it is presumed to have been due to heart disease. She was about her work yesterday and so far as is known was in her usual health. After the evening meal she went into the chicken yard at the rear of the house to feed the chickens. Weilie saw her suddenly stagger and then fall and rushed to her assistance. He found her dying and though medical assistance was summoned, she passed away before aid could reach her.

The funeral will be held tomorrow at the Methodist Episcopal church at Wapello, of which church Miss Lambert was a member. Miss Lambert is survived by her parents who reside in Wapello and by two sisters.
