The startling intelligence reached here last Monday by telephone that Mrs. Wm. Cravens had been found dead in bed that morning at her home near Mercer. She had suffered from a long siege of typhoid fever during Sept. and Oct. and for some weeks her condition was such that her life was despaired of. She improved, however, and was able to be up and about the house altho still suffering from weakness. She ate a hearty supper on Sunday evening ad was in good spirits when she retired. About 8 o'clock next morning when breakfast had been prepared some of the family went to call her when she was found to be cold in death.
