Mrs McLeod Dies Suddenly
The whole community was deeply shocked to learn on Wednesday morning that Mrs McLeod, wife of the editor of the Gazette, had passed away during the night. Mrs McLeod had for the past weeks been in better health apparently then she had been for some months, and on Tuesday afternoon was down town shopping and calling on friends. About 5.30 she returned home. Her friends have remarked that she was unusually bright and cheerful during the afternoon. When Mr McLeod returned home shortly after six o'clock he found her lying down and she complained of a pain in her head. Medical aid was summoned immediately and everything that human skill could devise was done to help her, but she soon sank in unconsciousness and quietly passed away a few minutes before 12 o'clock. The funeral will take place on Friday afternoon. Service will be held at the house at 2 o'clock.
