Announcement of the death of Mrs. Con Gleason on Sunday evening came as a shock to the many friends of that estimable woman. Her sudden death was no doubt caused by her over worked in nursing her son and daughter through attacks of typhoid fever. She was fifty years old, a native of Ireland, and had resided here upwards of twenty years. Funeral arrangements are delayed pending the arrival or word from Mr. Gleason, who is in the lumbering woods of Ontario.

SORROW AND CARE IN GLEASON HOME
Just now the family of Con Gleason on South main Street are having a load of sorrow that has called forth general sympathy. The mother lay dead in the house the first of the week, the father was absent in Canada and could not be reached by any kind of communication. John of 24 years is just recovering from a siege of typhoid fever while Miss Maggie aged 18 is seriously ill of the same disease and James aged 12 suffers of an attack of peritonitis. Sunday evening Mrs. Gleason said she did not feel at all well. Her son helped her to her room upstairs where she fell forward in a swoon. She never recovered her mind and in 15 minutes she was dead. No warning whatever preceded the heart's refusal to longer serve its body, but during the day she was as well as usual.

The death excited Miss Maggie Gleason dreadfully and a relapse in her condition was feared, but she is again resting easier now.

Mr. Gleason is employed as a transportation agent up in Canada, 18 Miles inland from any railroads and there was a long delay in reaching him. The family's trials have aroused a large sympathy for them and many acts of kindness and help have been lone for them.

We mentioned last week the sorrow and trials of the Gleason home. Mr. Gleason did not return home until Monday morning and his wife who died Sunday evening of the week before was buried Tuesday in Calvary cemetery. The funeral was held from Sacred Heart church. Miss Maggie Gleason is recovering from typhoid fever. Mr. Gleason as a duty of his position in Canada is required to make a circuit of the woods. The telegram reached the nearest station last Wednesday, and it was not until Friday that the messenger boy met him on his return to camp and delivered the staggering news. He started for home at once but could not reach here until Monday.
