Until very lately, both Miss Hale and Miss Roof were reported as improving in health, and the sudden change in Miss Clara’s case was a great shock to our whole village, and will be a surprise to her many Ionia friends. The remains are expected to reach here Friday p.m. Miss Hale, only child of John Hale and wife (nee Nellie Roof) was born in Lyons 18 years ago, graduated from our schools last year, and socially was one of the bright lights of our village. For the past year she has been in feeble health, and in February last, in company with her parents and her aunt, Miss Artha Roof, she went south in hopes and full expectations of regaining her lost health. Up to within a few days reports were to the effect that she was slowly improving, and the unexpected announcement yesterday has thrown a gloom over our entire village.
