• Notes

  A VERY SUDDEN DEATH Miss Nellie McGiverin Dies after a Few Hours Illness - A Bright Young Life Cut Off The sadden death of Miss Helen Frances McGiverin, daughter of Mr. Thomas McGiverin of this town, which occured on Saturday will be generally lamented. Such an event always produces sorrow, but when one whose life is before her and who is so precious to others, the blow is almost harder than can be borne. These are the circumstances which render Miss McGiverin's demise so sad. The young Lady who was in her 19th year, was a lovable girl, she had many friends and to know her was to like her. She was afflicted with heart trouble, from about her seventh year and this was the cause of her death. The deceased appeared to be in her usual health yesterday. She attended the revival meeting in the Methodist church last evening and when she retired to rest she seemed as well as ever. An hour or so later she was taken with a spasm and when the doctor, who had been summoned, arrived, she was unconscious. She passed away while in that state.
