Mrs. Fred Watts Dies Following Four Years Illness - Suffers Paralytic Stroke

Special to The Tribune.
Washington Twp. March 19 -
Mrs. Fred Watts died last week following a four years' illness. Four years ago she had an attack of grippe which left her with a tuomr in her head. A stroke of paralysis left her almost helpless. She leaves her husband and six children, beside her father, mother, brothers and sisters. The roads were so bad Saturday that funeral were obliged to go in on the interurban. The sympathy of the entire community is with this family in its bereavement. Mrs. Will Corkins and Gerald of Eagle Grove and Bernice Posegate of Cedar Falls were among those from a distance who attended the funeral.
