Mrs. M. V. Vandeburg passed away at her home in Cove, Ark., at noon on Tuesday, being 74 years of age. Mrs. Vandeburg fell a few weeks ago, sustaining injuries which later developed into a dropsical condition, and the past two weeks had failed rapidly.

Besides the husband, she leaves three sons and three daughters by a former marriage: Frank and Arch W. Wight, Mrs. D. W. Short and Mrs. Geo. Shaw of this county; Claude Wight of California and Mrs. S. C. Liner of Cove, Ark.

Mrs. Vandeburg was a daughter of John Ettien, a pioneer settler of Webster township, and spent the greater part of her life in Madison county.

The body will be brought here and burial made in the Wight cemetery.
