Widow of Man Who Starved Himself to
Death--Measles Followed Parturition.
Mrs. Meyer, widow of J. G. Meyer, the eccentric farmer who starved himself to death recently at his home northeast of town, died at 3 o'clock this morning at her home. A week ago a son was born to her, and she took the measles which caused her death. The child is doing well.
Mrs. Meyer was a young woman, in her twenties, and was robust and strong. Her death was so sudden and unexpected that it came as a shock to the neighborhood.
