Message Brings Sad News of
Death of Mrs. Burl Helphrey
Mr. P. Helphrey received a telegram today which stated that his son's wife, Mrs. Burl Helphrey, died at 10 o'clock this morning. He will leave with the body tomorrow and probably arrive in Newton Tuesday or Wednesday.
They had received two messages before the death message. The last one was from her physicians and state that she was dying from diphtheria and pneumonia.
Mrs. Helphrey was Nellie Baker, a daughter of Wm. Baker of this city and a sister of George Baker west of town.
Only a week ago Mr. and Mrs. Helphrey received a letter from their son and Mr. Baker at the same time received one from his daughter. They were bright cheerful letters and no word of her sickness was mentioned at that time. The news comes as a great shock to both families. ~ The Newton Daily News, January 2, 1909.
