Mrs. Wilson Hinkley.

Died, at the family residence in this city on Tuesday morning, of post partum hemorrhage at the age of 26 years, Cora May Hinkley, wife of Wilson Hinkley.

The death of this estimable woman will create general and sincere regret among a wide circle of friends, where she had lived in the respect and esteem of all who knew her. It was a sad blow to the bereaved husband, who had bestowed such a wealth of devotion upon her since they were married nearly a year ago, and the only comfort that he now has is a baby girl she left to this tender care, which will receive his everlasting affection, and be a joy to him in his great loneliness.

The funeral was conducted by Rev. Mr. Jory and the pall bearers were members of the I.O.O.F. society. The Daughters of Rebekah also assisted at the sad last rites. The body was shipped to Pickett, Wis., on Wednesday, where the interment will take place, followed by the sorrowing husband and F. C. Danforth of Parker, S.D., with whom the deceased had made her home for many years.
