DEATH OF MRS. CARL HINCHMAN

Mrs. Carl Hinchman died at a hospital in Chicago Sunday morning at 9 o’clock. She went there to have a surgical operation performed. It was performed Tuesday of last week and she seemed to be doing nicely until Friday when she began sinking. She was conscious until Saturday evening. Mrs. S. McPherson accompanied her to Chicago and remained with her. Before going she wrote 16 cheerful, comforting letters to her husband, who is in a sanitarium in Lake Geneva, Wis., one to be mailed to him each day. She felt confident of recovery from the operation and had planned to write her husband of it as soon as she was strong enough and send him word that she was coming to Lake Geneva to be with him. Mrs. Hinchman, born Daisy Mahaffy, was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Mahaffy. She was born in Garfield township, this county, March 24, 1877. She was a woman of beauty of mind and heart and her friends included all who knew her. The funeral services were held at the home on Tuesday afternoon and were conducted by Rev. G. L. Smith, of the Congregational church. The pallbearers were W. E. Borghner, Ralph Pringle, Herbert Lane, T. J. Hysham, J. W. Cozad and D. F. Magee. Reuben Mahaffy, from Mullen, Neb., and John Mahaffy, from Chicago, brothers of Mrs. Hinchman, were in attendance at the funeral, as also were J. V. Hinchman, from Glenwood, Dr. H. W. Shriver from Omaha, Mrs. F. L. Ingman from Villisca, and Mrs. W. C. Welch from Creston.
