Mrs. Emma Dike, wife of O. B. Dike, “our tinsmith”, died last Saturday afternoon after an illness of only three or four hours. She was a young woman of more than usual abilities, and her loss will be felt by hosts of friends. They had been married about eighteen months, had built them a good residence and had just began to feel that was their home. They moved here from Whitewater, Wisconsin, soon after they were married, and he will start today to bury her with the rest of her people in Wisconsin.
