Mrs. Fred J. Rosenthal at Rest.
After an illness of ten days, during which she did not regain consciousness, Mrs. Fred J. Rosenthal passed away yesterday afternoon. The result has not been unexpected, yet the family and their friends have clung to the tiny thread of hope that a favorable turn might come in her condition. In their bereavement the family have the sympathy of the community. Mrs. Rosenthal was a devoted wife and mother. Her life centered in her home but she found time and pleasure in doing acts of neighborly kindness that have endeared her to all who knew her. We have not learned when the funeral will be held.
