For ten years she has been a great sufferer from ulceration of the stomach, but the trouble was aggravated by la grippe contracted a few weeks since, and her system was too weak to rally from the attack. Ten years ago she was robust and ruddy cheeked, weighing at least 170 pounds, at the time of her death her form had wasted away until she would weight scarcely 40 pounds. During all these years she suffered intense agony, but no word of complaint fell from her lips. She was conscious to the last and begged most piteously not to be allowed to die. All that human skill could do had been done for her, but death was inevitable. Miss Emma was a most estimable young lady and her death is greatly to be regretted.
