MRS. JAMES McCLURE
It was indeed sad news that came to the host of friends of Mrs. James McClure on Saturday evening when it was said she had passed away. She had been reported so much better only a few days before. Her death was due to Brights Disease. On Tuesday of last week she took very ill and no hope was given for her recovery. Part of the time from then until 6:40 Saturday evening when she died, she was unconscious and kept alive by stimulants. Her place in the home can never be filled and she will be greatly missed in the community where she had made a host of friends in the four years she had lived here.
