"MRS. SINCLAIR DEAD.
---------------
Death Comes After an Illness of Only Four Weeks.
---------------
Mrs. Wm. H. Sinclair, wife of Colonel Sinclair, president of the Galveston City street railway company, died in the annex of the Beach hotel at 2 o'clock yesterday of Bright's disease. Mrs. Sinclair had been ill only about four weeks. About two months ago she went to Orchard Lake, Mich., and returned with her son, who had been in attendance upon the military school there. She was apparently well at that time, but a month ago became ill and has gradually grown worse until she died.
Mrs. Sincalir was 54 years old. About twenty-five years ago she came from New York to Galveston with her husband, and has been a true helpmate to him in making the success which has attended his business ventures here. Their residence in Galveston has been continuous since their arrival here. During that time she has made many friends, and once having made a friendship it was for life.
Mrs. Sinclair leaves three sons. The eldest, Harry, is employed in the United States engineer's office in this city; the second, Louis, is connected with the street railway company, and the youngest, Stanley, has just returned from school. She also has two sisters living in this city, Mrs. Durant and Mrs. F. W. Beissner. The body was removed to the home of the latter, Seventeenth street and avenue H, yesterday afternoon.
The funeral will take place from Mrs. Beissner's residence at 4 o'clock this afternoon and will be private."
