DEAN. - Admired Young Woman, Formerly of This City, Dies in Minneapolis. - It was with profound sorrow that the friends of the Vega family in Donaldsonville - and that means the entire community - learned of the death of Mrs. William W. Dean, of Adams, Minn., formerly Miss Lena Vega of this city, which occurred at 11:30 o'clock last Sunday forenoon at a hospital in Minneapolis. Mrs. Dean had been suffering from a nervous trouble for some years, and had submitted to several surgical operations in the hope of obtaining relief, but without a cure being effected. There was a recurrence of the affliction recently and the young woman was taken to Minneapolis for treatment. A letter containing information to this effect received by relatives here Sunday morning was closely followed by a telegram conveying the sad news of Mrs. Dean's death. Deceased was a daughter of the late Col. A. D. Vega, and was a young woman of charming personality and cultured manners. She was educated at the Convent of the Visitation at Mobile, Ala., and seventeen years ago was married in this city to William W. Dean, a prominent banker of Adams, in which town she had since resided. Four children were born of the union - Marcelle, Dorothy, William, Jr., and Douglas - and these, with the grief-stricken husband, are left to mourn her loss. The remains of the lamented young wife and mother were interred at Adams Tuesday morning.
