UNEXPECTED DEATH.
Miss Maggie Alexander Died Monday Morning After a Brief Illness.
Miss Maggie Alexander died Monday morning at a few moments before 6 o'clock after less than a week's illness. She was first taken sick last Wednesday and went home from the Normal where she was attending school.
For four days she was quite ill but was so much better yesterday that the attending physician said she would need no attention during the day and he would not return until evening. About midnight she grew worse and became delirious in a few hours. Later she grew worse and died at the time above mentioned.
The family's grief knows no bounds. Her father, H.S. Alexander, our efficient city clerk, is almost prostrated and the mother mourns in deepest distress the loss of the eldest child. The deceased was born in Emporia, in March 1874, and the family have since resided here, with the exception of a few years at Florence.
The young lady had availed herself of the early advantages of education and Cristian influence and was nearing the close of her nineteenth year, equipped with excellent learning and guided by the teaching of Christ, which she had embraced in early childhood. She was of a kind and living disposition, inseparable from family ties and devoted to her friends who are numbered by the scores. A number of young ladies who were intimate associates are inconsolable at the loss of their dear friend. To the family the grief is heartrending. In their burial lot at Maplewood the first mound will be raised over the remains of one of the family. It is sad indeed. The members of the family, relatives and friends will turn away with aching hearts, and the parents, brother and little sister will listen in vain for the voice that is silent. The familiar foot steps will be heard no more. The chair by the fireside is vacant. The grief is deep, but some consolation lies in the reflection that she has passed to a better world.
In taking to her father yesterday afternoon she whispered to him, "I am going home papa." Even then there was no thought entertained by him that death was near. She appeared delirious and as such were her words considered.
Her aunt, Mrs. J.M. Griffith, is in the east, and a telegram has been sent to her. It is expected she will be home in time to attend the funeral from the residence on Commercial street, below Kansas avenue, on Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. Elder Swartz will conduct the services. The deceased was a member of the First Christian church. The remains will be interred at Maplewood cemetery.
Friends of the family join in expressions of deepest sympathy in this hour of overshadowing sorrow.
