Mrs. Austin Drops Dead At Funeral

Mrs. Sadie Austin, an old time resident of Keya Paha, suddenly passed away Monday afternoon. She was standing outside the Methodist Chuch where she had gone to attend the funeral of Mrs. Clarence Gipson. Suddenly she collapsed and it is believed her death was instantaneous, the cause being attributed to heart trouble and over exertion in the extensive heat.

After spending last summer and part of the winter in California with her son and daughter, Mrs. Austin returned to Springview in January. She suffered severely with flu in the early part of the spring, and never entirely recovered. She was past seventy years old.
