MRS. CROPSEY DIED MONDAY

Mrs. Margaret Cropsey, wife of Geo. W. Cropsey, of 214 S. Fourth avenue, died at the University hospital Monday morning shortly after 8 o'clock, of typhoid fever. The deceased was ill at the hospital only two weeks, but had been complaining several days before being removed there, which was done in accordance with her wishes.

Hers was one of the worst cases of typhoid fever ever seen at the hospital and neither skill nor care were able to combat with the dread disease which had overtaken her before she gave up.

The deceased was one of those few people whose noble life and deeds need no eulogy. Her influence, wherever it was exerted, resulted always in good, and her sweet character will always be a lasting and fond remembrance to those who were so fortunate as to know her and to have come into her life. The many acts of charity that she has performed were known only to her and those she aided and were always done in a quiet and unostentatious manner. Her noble Christian character can well be imitated, her whole life being lived in the beautiful Christian manner in which death claimed her. No better and nobler example can be given of it than the resignation which she displayed in the deaths of her two beautiful daughters several years ago and a son who died four years ago.

She leaves a husband, one daughter, Miss Sadie, and one son, George Cropsey, of Arkansas.

The funeral was held Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock from St. Thomas church.
