News was received here last Thursday that Mrs. J.F. CORRIGAN had died at her home in Hutchinson on the night before. Only a few of the intimate friends of the family knew of her illness, and while for several days her condition was considered serious, even the relatives here were unprepared for the worst, as a telegram Tuesday afternoon announced here as improving. Mrs. H.N. KIRKPATRICK had been at the bedside of her sister for several days and was with her at the time of her death, but Mrs. E.A. ANDERSON her mother was visiting in Indiana, but made the long tiresome trip from there to Hutchinson to take a mothers place and to shed a mothers tears over the face of her love one. The death of Mrs. Corrigan is peculiarly distressing, and she is but another of the thousands of heroic women who have given a life for a life. As child, young woman and happy wife, she has had a place in the affections of the older members of the community. She grew to womanhood in Anthony and as Mis! s Julia ANDERSON she was always a favorite in the family, popular with her schoolmates and friends, prominent in social, musical and church circles and was a noble child and woman. Her marriage to Mr. Corrigan took place in this city, but for the past few years they have made their home in Hutchinson, and in that home she was supreme. Their married life has been an ideal one, and her death wrecks a happy home. To Mr. Corrigan, to the aged mother, to the sister and brothers the heartfelt sympathy of our entire community is extended and their grief is in a measure shared by all who had the pleasure of the acquaintance of Mrs. Corrigan. Upon the husband and the mother the blow will fall the heaviest, and to them and to all of the bereaved ones we extend our sincerest sympathy. The funeral and interment will be held in Hutchinson today.
