When Mrs. D. E. Lynds returned to Chicago Friday morning from a six weeks' visit to St. Louis, she found awaiting her a cablegram from Paris announcing the death of her daughter, Mrs. Richard Blount. The news came as a terrible shock, though she knew her daughter had not been well for some time, and had expressed anxiety concerning her health.
Mrs. Blount, who was born and reared in Quincy, is remembered as a handsome and attractive girl, her wedding in the Unitarian church being a brilliant affair. During the greater part of their married life, Mr. and Mrs. Blount have lived in Paris, where he was engaged in business, Mrs. Blount herself showing remarkable shrewdness and good judgment in the lines of business, in which she was especially interested.
She was a woman of unusual ability, and rare qualities; and her loss will be deeply felt by her husband and two sons, Daniel and Allen. The most sincere sympathy is expressed for her mother, Mrs. Lynds, who has so many warm friends in her old home.
