Mrs. A. English, 76, died at her home 1229 Eighth street at 9:00 a. m. today, after a lingering illness of complications due to her advanced years.

Mrs. English had been failing for the past year and confined to her home and part of the time to her bed for the past month or more. She grew worse during the past few days and death came peacefully this morning, the cause being a brain embolus.

Funeral services will be held at the home Friday afternoon at 3:00, in charge of Dr. J. W. Innes of Milwaukee, an old and very close friend of the family. Interment will be in the family lot in the Nevada cemetery, by the side of her husband, who died in February, 1923.

Mrs. English, a native of Embro, Ontario, Canada, where she was born January 12, 1854, had lived in Iowa for many years. Mr. English was engaged in business at Union, in Hardin county for number of years but came to Nevada about 33 years ago and for many years conducted a harness store here. Disposing of that business they lived in retirement until his death seven years ago.

The deceased, of Scotch parentage, had always been an active and devoted member of the Presbyterian faith and during her third of a century resident in Nevada had bee active in affairs connected with Central Presbyterian church.

She leaves an only daughter, Miss Olive English, who had always lived at home and whose interests had been closely allied with those of the mother.

She was a wonderful woman warmly loved and admired by all who knew her and she will be sincerely mourned by a wide circle of friends and acquaintances, both here and in Union and other places where she had lived.
