DEATH CALLS MRS. STEPHEN. LOUGHLIN

Mrs. Stephen W. Loughlin died at her home on South Jackson avenue last Sunday morning.. She had been an invalid for practically eight years. Six years ago she developed a serious, case of heart trouble and time and again her life has been despaired of. But she struggled bravely and fought off the inevitable for many, many months. Doctors at Rochester and other places gave her no hope for recovery and predicted her death, years before the final summons. Her wide circle of neighbors and friends admired this brave woman's fight against an incurable disease and extend their sincere sympathy to the sorrowing husband and children.
