Whitney

This community was grieved last Tuesday to learn that Miss Kate Whitney had died at her home in the Second Ward, shortly after noon. Miss Whitney had been a great sufferer for several days from an attack of rheumatism, which finally affected her heart and resulted in her death. The breaved mother, brothers and sisters have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community.

The funeral will occur at the Whitney home on North 7th street this (Thursday) afternoon at two o'clock.

(Also in the same paper)

Miss Kate Whitney has been quite ill the last week, causing her friends much anixety. Her brother, Fred, was notified by telegram Monday and her mother, who is at Lockport, N.Y. caring for her daughter Perna, was also notified of the serious illness of the daughter at home. The sympathy of this community centers with the family who at the present seem to have more than their share of suffering. Fred Whitney arrived here Tuesday noon and the mother will arrive today from Lockport, New York. Miss Whitney's condition is much worse this morning and it is thought she can hardly last through the day.
