Mrs. Eli POWELL, aged 43 years died very suddenly at her home on Big Creek north-east of here last Thursday night, March 5, 1908. She had been in her usual health and first took with the grip which terminated in pneumonia and caused her death very suddenly.

A large crowd of sorrowing relatives and friends followed the remains to their last resting place.

At the time of her death and funeral, the husband and only child, a son about 20 years of age, were confined to their beds at home with the grip.

The entire community extend sympathy to the bereaved husband and son in their time of sorrow.
