DEATH OF MRS. THOS. GRAHAM

Mrs. Margaret Graham, wife of Thomas Graham, of Hinton, died suddenly on
Thursday from an abscess on the brain. Besides her husband, she leaves two
children, George aged six, and Helen, aged two and a half years. Mrs.
Graham was thirty-nine years of age. The funeral was held on Saturday at the
Cathedral of the Epiphany in Sioux City. The Hinton Gazette says of her:

“The news of the sudden death of Mrs. Tom Graham yesterday caused surprise
as she appeared to be in good health a day or two previous. The disease that
caused the death was an abscess of the brain. Her spirit left its tenant of
clay yesterday and today’s sun shines upon the shrouded form of one who
lived the life of a Christian as near a finite being could; was a devoted
wife and mother, charitable not only to others failures, but always ready to
aid the needy and do all the good she could to those needing sympathy. She
will be missed not only by a devoted husband and children and by her
sisters, and other relatives, but by the community.”
