DIED
One of the sad events of life that ever and anon take place was the death of Mrs. Dora Griggs, of Chanute, wife of W.L. Griggs and daughter of our respected fellow townsman, J.R. Ray. This lady in the bloom of health, with her two children, a boy of 11 years and a girl of seven, came down to visit her parents while her husband, who was at Jacksonville, Ill., pursued his vocation of railroading. Little did she think that this was to be the last visit to her beloved parents. Only about two weeks ago she was taken down with typhoid fever to linger till death should take her home. Everything possible was done for her that loving hands could accomplish. Dr. Light, her brother-in-law, left his practice at Chanute to assist local physicians but all was in vain. When it became apparent that she must die her husband and brothers were wired and all got to her bedside before death, which took place on Sunday afternoon. She was a member of the M.E. church and died in the triumphs of faith of the gospel. She was also a member of the Women's Relief Corps, and an order of railroad people in which she was insured for $250. Her funeral was preached in the M.E. church in this city by the pastor, Rev. A. Cullison, and her remains were interred in the Cherokee cemetery.
