resides about three miles north of Lima. She was forty-eight years of age. She leaves her husband and nine children to
lament her loss, as follows; William of Texas; Mrs Joy Reed
of Denver, IL Nellie, Ray, Emery, Maude and Blanche who still reside at
home. The deceased had formerly taught school and was a woman greatly respected by all. She was a great home woman, her
time being taken with looking after the interests of the home and care of her children. The home is indeed a sad one and the
sympathy of the entire community goes out to the grief stricken husband and children. Mrs Newell had been in
Denver on the Sunday

with her; but on Monday night she was taken worse and on tuesday two physicians were summoned and her disease was found to be
