For more than a month her condition had been critical and all chance of recovery hopeless. All that medical aid could suggest or friendly hands perform, could not stay the slow ebbing out of life. Her illness began with what was probably a slight paralytic stroke which caused her to fall heavily. From the shock of the fall she suffered much pain for a week or more and then gradually lapsed into a half stupor. During the last week of her illness she was never conscious and for nearly 24 hours before the end, no pulse was perceptible. The last spark of life slowly flickered out without a sign or token of the passing unto death.—Lincoln County Times.” (Citizen: 3-09-1906); “Mrs Phyllis Inkster.
