DEATH OF MRS ALBRITTON
Succumbs after long battle with disease
The long and unequal battle which Mrs. Lydia J. Albritton, the wife of the Rev. J. L. Albritton of the First Methodist Church, has been waging against disease for months past, came to an end yesterday afternoon in the death of the patient. For weeks the death has been expected at almost any minute, but with exceptional vitality Mrs. Albritton withstood the ravages of the complications of diseases from which she was suffering until 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. For twenty-four hours before her death she lay unconscious but passed away without a struggle.
The death of Mrs. Albritton marks the passing of a woman who was honored and beloved by all who met her. Although she had been in this city but a comparatively short time, she had gathered many friends about her who will be deeply grieved to learn of her death.
Mrs. Albritton was born in Kentucky forty-nine years ago. She came with her husband from Toledo, O., to Butte three years ago last September on account of her health, which failed in the east. About a year and a half ago she was attacked with Bright's disease, which assumed a dropsical form, and also resulted in organic affection of the heart. In the hopes of benefiting her health, Mr. Albritton came with his wife to Salt Lake last September. Since that time Mrs. Albritton has been on a steady decline, and about four months ago was so ill that the doctors said she could not live but a few days.
She rallied and took a turn for the better, but about a week ago bronchial pneumonia developed and hastened the death of the patient. During her last illness Mrs. Albritton seemed to realize that death was near, and made all arrangements for her funeral and burial. She requested a private funeral and asked that no eulogy be pronounced over her, and that nothing save the simple Methodist ritual be performed.
The deceased was a woman who made friends wherever she went, and was always a popular leader in literary circles where she has lived. She was always ready to take hold of any work that presented itself, and was always faithful to her duties in the church of her faith. She leaves a husband and two sons to mourn her loss.
The funeral will be held from the First Methodist Church next Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. The services will be conducted by the Rev. J. L. Leilich, the presiding bishop.
