Mrs. Elizabeth Fouke, well known in Winterset, died in a hospital at Atlanta, Ga., last Sunday morning from pneumonia. For the past number of years, Mrs. Fouke has made her home with her sister, Mrs. S. A. Ballard of this place. It has been their custom to spend the winters in Florida where they also have a home. Mrs. Fouke left here sometime ago to make a visit at Jersey City and was on her way to Florida when taken sick. She had proceeded on her journey as far as Atlanta where she was taken to a hospital for treatment and where she died. Mrs. Ballard was in Des Moines when notified of her illness and she immediately went south. The remains will, in all probability, be taken to Ohio to be interred beside those of her husband.
