OBITUARY

Died, at the home in this city of her mother, Mrs. Jennie Cobleigh, Friday evening, April 5, 1901, Hattie C. Cobleigh, aged 24 years, 8 months and 29 days.

The above sad event came as a profound shock to the friends of the deceased, many of whom did not know she was home and of whom few knew that she was ill. She had for the past few months been in charge of a millinery store of Plainview, Nebraska, and she arrived home the preious Saturday monrning, partly because she felt herself getting sick and partly because her mother had been quarantined at home for a supposititious case of diphtheria. Her mother's illness did not prove at all serious; but her own grew steadily worse and consultation of physicians Wednesday reached a conclusion that her case was one of acute peritonites with the chances unfavorable. She seemed, however, on Friday evening to be doing well, when, supposably an abcess broke and she died almost immediately.

Hattie Cobleigh was born July 7, 1876, at Missouri Valley, lived with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Cobleigh, for several years at Biencoe, Monona county, and came with them to Nevada about 1892. Here she grew to bright, attractive, capable and promising womanhood and was beloved by all who knew her. Her father died about a year ago, and one of her two brother two or three years before that. She leaves her mother, her brother Charles in Nebraska, and her younger sister Adah; and for her mother especially the blow is inexpressibly hard, and the sympathy which is usually felt and expressed at such times is now exceptionally deep. Owing to the quarantine at the home, the funeral Sunday was a private one, services at the cemetery being conducted by Rev. Sandford.
