IDENTIFY WOMAN AS MRS. COLBERT

Friends Recognize Flood Refugee Whose Death Occurred Wednesday

	The woman who died at Memorial Hospital on Wednesday 
morning [25 March 1936-ed.] was identified by friends at the 
John Henderson mortuary yesterday as Mrs. Emma Colbert, 72, 
widow of William Colbert, whose home was at the rear of 520 
Sherman Street. She is said to have one survivor, a daughter 
living in Chicago.

	Mrs. Colbert had been making her home with Mrs. Elizabeth 
Springer, of 520 Sherman Street until the day of the flood when 
she was taken to the John Wilkins home at 748 Grant Street, 
remaining there until Friday, when she was taken to Westmont-
Upper Yoder High School, being removed on Sunday to Memorial 
Hospital.

	Funeral services probably will be held tomorrow afternoon 
at the Henderson mortuary with burial in Grandview Cemetery.
