MISS LIZZIE HALDEMAN DIES OF APPENDICITIS.
News Contained In Cablegram From Col. Haldeman.
Succumbs In Paris On Birthday Anniversary.
Body To Be Brought Home.
Miss Lizzie O. Haldeman, daughter of Col. W. B. Haldeman, died of appendicitis on her twenty-second birthday at 5 o'clock Paris time yesterday afternoon. A cablegram announcing the death was received at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon by Mrs. Frazier Bonnie, Miss Haldeman's sister. The message was from Col. Haldeman and follows: "Daughter died at 5 o'clock this afternoon. Will bring body home. Cable steamer later."
Details of Miss Haldeman's illnes are meager. The first word of her illness came Tuesday morning in a cablegram from Col. Haldeman stating that his daughter was critically ill of appendicitis. No further particulars were received until the arrival of the second cablegram yesterday afternoon. A letter was received in Louisville Tuesday from Mrs. Haldeman and apparently all were in good health. They were stopping at the Hotel Balzac. Miss Haldeman was traveling with her parents, Col. and Mrs. W. H. Haldeman, who have been in Europe about four and a half months and in Paris three weeks.
Her death came as a shock to friends and relatives in Louisville and elsewhere. Miss Haldeman was a young woman of a most engaging personality and was regarded as one of the most beautiful and attractive belles of the South. Friends spoke with deep feeling last night of their personal loss. Miss Haldeman was known as the Daughter of the First Kentucky Infantry.
"All the regiment was devoted to her and she to them," said one of the officers of the regiment last night.
Miss Haldeman made her debut last winter at The Seelbach, when a ball was given there in her honor. Since 1906 Miss Haldeman had her Daughter of the First Kentucky Regiment and had attended practically all the encampments of the soldiers. By her charming personality she had won her way into the heart of all members of the regiment, and on her twenty-first birthday, as a token of their esteem, the officers of the First Kentucky Regiment presented Miss Haldeman with a handsome gold seal ring on which were engraved the crossed guns and the initials of the regiment. Inside the ring was the inscription: "To Miss Lizzie Haldeman, Daughter of the Regiment.:
As soon as the sad news reached Louisville Lieut. Col. James P. Gregory, of the First Kentucky Infantry, sent a cablegram in the name of the regiment extending condolences and sympathy to the grief-stricken parents.
Miss Haldeman was born in Louisville. She graduated from the Castle School at Tarrytown, N. Y., more than a year ago. Miss Haldeman was a member of the Second Presbyterian church, Second street and Broadway. Besides her parents she is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Bonnie, who was formerly Miss Clara Haldeman, and Mrs. Frank K. Espenhain, of Milwaukee, who has been notified of her sisters death.
Mr. Bonnie said last night that he believed the body would be brought to Louisville on the first steamer. No definite arrangements have yet been made.

Word was received last night from New York, in a telegram from Mr. Bruce Haldeman, announcing that Col. and Mrs. W. B. Haldeman, accompanying the remains of Miss Lizzie Haldeman, had arrived in New York at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, on the American liner Philadelphia, and that the party would leave New York last night for Louisville.
Col. and Mrs. Haldeman were met at the pier by Bruce Haldeman and Frank Espenhain, of Milwaukee, the latter a son-in-law of Col. Haldeman. The party is expected to reach Louisville to-night over the Louisville and Nashville railroad, at Tenth street and Broadway.
The remains of Miss Haldeman will be taken at once to the home of Col. Haldeman, on Ormsby avenue, where a special guard of honor from the First Regiment will be awaiting it. The guard will remain at the home to-night and until 4 o'clock to-morrow afternoon, the hour of the funeral.
