DEATH OF A YOUNG WIFE

Mrs. Charles Devlin died at Her Late Home, on West Ninth St., Sunday, 
August 29.

The people of this place were startled Sunday afternoon to learn of 
the sad and sudden death of Mrs. Charles  Devlin, which occurred at 
her late residence on Nonth between State and Washington streets, 
at 12:45 on that day, Sunday, August 20th.

Deceased was in usual condition of health during the early part of 
Saturday evening and with her mother, Mrs. James Hunt, had visited 
the picture shows and before going home she ate an ice cream soda.  
Upon reaching home she ate lunch and almost, immediately became very 
sick, and she steadily grew worse until her death occurred as above 
stated.

Miss Rosella Hunt was born in East St. Louis, Ill., June 20th, 1884, 
but during the greater part of her life  has resided in Beardstown.  
She was a graduate of the Beardstown High school, having completed 
the course with the class of 1902.  She took special instructions in 
music at Jacksonville and other places and many times has entertained 
the people of Beardstown at different public gatherings with voice 
and piano selections.

During the month of June, just four years ago, she was united in 
marriage with Charles Devlin, now proprietor of the cigar 
manufactory on State street.  For some time they have resided on 
Ninth between Wahington and Lafayette streets and it was there her 
death occurred.

Besides the husband and the mother, her death is mourned by seven 
brothers and three sisters.

The entire community extends sympathy to the bereaved husband and 
the grief stricken mother and brothers and sisters.
