A Very Sad Death

We are called upon this week to chronicle the sad death of Mrs. Antony Weidenfeller which occurred about nine o'clock Tuesday evening. She had been confined to her bed for some time and the end came as a relief to long and patient suffering. The immediate cause of her death was an internal hemorrage[sic]. It was known for some hours before her death that she could not live and all the best friends could do was to stand by her bedside and watch her gradually sink away. The sadness of her death is greatly intensified by the fact that she leaves besides her loving husband five little children, the oldest [blurred word] eight years old and the youngest but seven weeks of age. Mr. Weidenfeller has the sympathy of a large circle of friends who will endeavor to lighten the [blurred word] care for the broken hearted husband.
