Sad and Sudden Death

Miss Pearl Newton, of Lincoln township, one of the promising teachers in the public schools, died very suddenly yesterday as a result of blood poisoning. She attended the last regular examination June 1 and expected to attend the normal. After going home from the examination she became ill with some form of throat trouble. This brought on an ulceration from which blood poisoning resulted.

The funeral was held this afternoon at the church in the Macumber neighborhood, the interment being in the Winterset cemetery.
