    • ANOTHER SUDDEN DEATH
      On Monday afternoon the death of Carrie, beloved wife of M. T. Bechtel, V. S., took place at her home on Arthur street. The deceased had not been very well for several weeks preceding, but nothing serious was apprehended until a week ago, when she suddenly became worse, owing to a serious affection of the heart. Everything that medical skill and careful nursing could do was done for her, but, though she rallied from two attacks and hopes were entertained of her recovery, a sudden collapse ended her acute sufferings, and she passed peacefully to her rest about 2.15 on Monday afternoon. Mrs. Bechtel was a quiet, kindly disposition and enjoyed the esteem of a wide circle of friends, who heard with a shock the news of her sudden demise, few knowing of her being seriously ill.
      Deceased leaves a sorrowing husband, a little daughter of four, her father and mother (Mr. and Mrs. James Whyard, of Dungannon), five sisters and four brothers to mourn her early departure.
      The funeral will take place on Thursday morning at 9 a.m. After a short service at the house, the remains will be taken via C.P.R. to Dungannon, where they will be buried in the family plot.
      The Advertiser extends sympathy to the bereaved ones.
