The father departed for the west Thursday on receipt of a wire saying the patient was nearing the end. He had expected to reach Colorado Springs this morning. The death message was received at thte home at 9 a.m. It is doubtful if the father arrived in time. The deceased, little more than a girl, went west two months ago in what was hoped at the time might not be a vain quest for health. She was only 18 years old last October 19th. She was born in Murphysboro and resided here all of her life excepting a brief period she spent in St. Louis. Beside the parents she is survived by one younger sister, Augusta, and five brothers, Alfred, Charles, Elmer, George, and Walter. NO DATES GIVEN
