Mrs. Ceylon Smith received word today of the death of an old friend of hers, a former Quincy woman, Miss Ada M. Fletcher, daughter of the late C. J. Fletcher and wife, out at Denver, Colorado, Sunday.
She was found dead in bed, and her sister Mrs. D. C. Smith sends the sad news to Mrs. Smith.
The deceased was head nurse in the old ladies' home at Denver, and was the first woman to graduate as a trained nurse, having studied in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She went South some years ago to nurse a patient, and got the yellow fever there, and had not been well since. Heart trouble caused her death.
She was born and raised here, and her parents and brother are buried here. The family had lived at Denver about 25 years. She was buried at Denver Tuesday.
