Mrs. Heilman, who was about 61 years old, left the Cleveland ranch, which is 
managed by her husband, last Thursday morning, and accompanied by the wife of a 
tenant, went to the ranch of her son, two miles away, to purchase a supply of 
butter.  Shortly after noon, while assisting her daughter-in-law with her 
household duties, she was seized with an attack of apoplexy and died about an 
hour later.

Funeral services were held at the home of her son, Harry Heilman, McAllister
