Last Tuesday night, she complained of illness and her daughter, Mrs. Richey, left her for a moment to get some medicine. When she returned she found her mother unconscious, her head and shoulders resting on a chair by the bed. She had evidently raised up and suffered a stroke of apoplexy. A physician was called, but said that she was beyond medical aid. She remained in this comatose state until the end of Wednesday night.

Richey, Lot Richards and Roy Richards, all of this city, and A. D. Richards, of Kearney, Neb., Straut Richards, Charleton, Neb., and Mrs. J. V.
