She was treated with electric baths and similar methods and tor awhile seemed to improve, but her disease was too far advanced to be cured. Last Tuesday Mr. Prowse received a telegram telling him that his wife was sinking. His son, Mr. Chas. O. Prowse, at once left for Battle Creek and arrived there Wednesday afternoon.

Prowse January 13, 1870. Their life was a very happy one, their devotion to each other increasing as the years went by. To them were born three sons and one daughter, and parents and children constituted an ideal household. Each member was devotedly attached to the others and nothing occurred to mar theirhappiness until five years ago. The war came on and the eldest son, Prank, volunteered for fight for his country in 1898. He was stricken with disease at Chickamauga and after lingering for months died Jan. 12, 1899.

She gave herself up to unrestrained grief and on February 24, 1901, ended her sorrow by taking her own life.
