Miss Mary MILL is sick.
Death of Mrs. Bert P. MILL.
Monday morning, November 9, about 10o'clock occurred the death of
the wife of Bert P. MILL, of this place. The demise of this
patient, good woman did not come in the nature of a surprise, as
she has been ill for more than a year, a sufferer with pulmonary
tuberculosis, a disease that appears to be incurable. She had
received the best of medical aid in places where the family have
resided, and about a year ago the family went to Colorado hoping
a change of climate and scenes would be beneficial, but without
permanent relief. Last Spring they returned to Iowa going to
Kingsley, and afterwards coming to Schaller where Mr. MILL could
be assisted in the care of his wife by his folks. Mrs. MILL was
only 27 years of age and leaves a broken hearted husband to whom
she was married about four years ago, and a little boy about a
year and a half old. The remains were taken to Kingsley for
burial Tuesday, brief services being held at the house in the
early morning. The earnest sympathy of all Schaller is freely
extended to the lonely husband and father in his desolate
bereavement.

In our notice of the Horsfield wedding last week we came near
getting someone into trouble. Our informant said the name of the
groom elect was Gibson, which we learn is an error. It is Thos.
Sibson. We sincerely hope there will be no hitch in the affair on
account of the slight error we made.
