A month ago today, Mr. and Mrs. Warren Gilbert left here for California, reaching Los Angeles on Aug. 2nd. Yesterday afternoon a telegram was received announcing the death of Mrs. Gilbert on the previous evening. The deceased was well and favorably known in this city and the county, the greater part of her childhood having been passed here, and all of eight years of married life.

Her maiden name was Naomi Johnson, daughter of Mrs. L.M. Doty, and was about twenty-eight years old. She was taken sick in February last and has been gradually failing ever since, and a trip to California was undertaken in hopes of staying the ravages of the disease, consumption, which had fastened itself upon her, but it was too late. The funeral will take place there, and Mr. Gilbert will probably at once return home. Two children now motherless, are here with the grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Doty.
