          SUDDEN DEATH OF MRS. FLORA DEAN
                                ----------
AT HER HOME NORTH OF TOWN LAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT MAY 14
  
   When Mrs. Flora Dean who lives three miles north of the village did not arise at
the usual time, her 
granddaughter who lived with her, did not disturb her thinking to let her rest a
little longer and so waited until 
the weather report rang.  At so late a hour she thought surely something must be the
matter that 
grandmother had not arisen, and going to the bedroom she tried to a waken her but
failing in this called 
neighbors who saw that she was dead.
   Undertaker Weed decided that death resulted from the breaking of a blood vessel
in the head.
   The funeral was held Saturday at her late farm home.  Rev. Issac Mourer preaching
the sermon, the singing 
by Mrs. B. B. Strauss and Mrs. A. J. Dann and burial in Lakeside cemetery.
