Elwood Daily Record, 29 Oct 1906
FORMER ELWOOD WOMAN
Is Dead at Alexandria After Brief Illness - Buried Here
     Mrs. Harriet Drake, a widow aged 55, died at Alexandria Saturday 
afternoon at 1:30 after undergoing an operation for gall stones.  She had been 
ill but a few weeks but her condition became such that it was found advisable 
to perform an operation to relieve her terrible sufferings.  The operation was 
performed and she rallied from it in a manner that led the physicians to 
believe she would recover.  The shock, however, was too great for her weakened 
condition and she breathed her last a few hours afterward.
     Mrs. Drake was well known here, she having lived in this city for about 
13 years.  She went to Alexandria two years ago to make her home with her 
mother and was highly esteemed, both in Elwood and the third city.  The 
funeral will be held in this city, the remains being brought here tomorrow 
afternoon, the trip being made overland and the ceremonies will take place at 
the East Main street Christian church.  Rev. Wingard of the Alexandria 
Christian church in charge, assisted by the local pastor, Rev. Robert Sellers.
     The deceased had many friends in this city, who will attend the last sad 
rites and interment will follow in the city cemetery.
