—After an illness of but a few days from spinal meningitis, Mrs. C. L. March died at the family home in south Decorah about five o’clock Tuesday afternoon. With a number of young children growing up, needing a mother’s care more than at any time in life, this affliction comes to Mr. March and the family when it is the hardest to bear. The sympathy of everyone goes out to them in their sorrow.
