SUDDEN AND SAD DEATH

Mrs. Anna Moore Found Unconscious Monday Noon by Her Young Son. Died Without Regaining Consciousness.

Monday noon when Robert Moore arrived home from school he found his mother laying on the floor in an uncounscious condition. She had not been ill previously and was alright and up and about the home when Robert went to school in the morning. Dr. Woodward was called, and everything that medical aid could do was resorted to, but the unfortunate woman never regained consciousness, and remained in that condition until fifteen minutes of ten last night (Tuesday) when she passed away. Uranic poisoning is given as the cause of her death. The deceased's maiden name was Anna Peele Walker, and she was born in Vermont, March 17, 1870. She was the daughter-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Moore, of Decorah. On Oct. 22, twenty years ago she was united in marriage to Dr. Henry W. Moore at Brookings, S.D. He passed away May 2, 1903. Two children, a son and daughter were born to the union. Catherine, and Robert. Catherine is a student at Cedar Falls college and she arrived home yesterday afternoon. This sudden death of this good woman is a severe shock to her many friends here. She was a woman who always bore the respect and esteem of everybody and her death brings sorrow to all. She is survived by three sisters and one brother. The date of the funeral had not been set at this writing.
