---Grant Morse of Rankin, was in town yesterday and made us a call.  He is
the father of Mrs. Heber Wilson, whose sudden death came as such a shock
to all just before Christmas.  He said they did not know she was even
feeling bad until news came of her death which was caused from
appendicitis.  She had sent them a nice Christmas box marked not to open
until Christmas day.  It was a very sad day for them.  She was their
eldest child.
