The remains of Miss Josephine Woods, of St. Louis but formerly of Quincy, mention of whose death was made in yesterday's Herald, will arrive in the city Monday evening for burial. The funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon at her home in St. Louis.
The sad news of the death of the young woman was received yesterday by John Wood of 121 North Fourteenth street, an uncle of the deceased.
Josephine Mills was the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George N. Mills, and was born in this city about nineteen years ago. The family resided here until several years ago, the father being tax agent for the Burlington railroad. Upon leaving Quincy, he removed to St. Louis, where he still holds a similar position with the railroad.
The young woman had been sick for the past five months, and her death was not wholly unexpected by the members of her family, although it came as a distinct surprise to her many friends in this city, who were not aware of her long illness. Besides her parents, she leaves a brother and a sister.
Only last summer, she was graduated from one of the St. Louis high schools. Shortly after graduation, she became ill with malarial fever, which is thought to have been brought on by over attention to her studies. Her illness was not regarded as serious at first. Although everything possible was done, the patient did not respond to the treatment, and it was soon apparent to the family that she was slowly declining.
Miss Mills visited Mr. and Mrs. Wood last summer, and spent her time pleasantly renewing acquaintances of her school days. Because of the death, Mrs. Wood recalled invitations to a large holiday party she had arranged to give at her home yesterday afternoon.
