Obituary: DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE. Our neighboring little town of Liberty Center was the scene of a distressing and sad occurrence last Saturday, by which a devoted wife and loving mother was suddenly called from this world. The particulars of the sad affair, so far as we have them, are as follows: Mrs. Robert Shaw, of Ft. Wane, wife of Fireman Shaw, of the Wabash Railway, was at Liberty Center visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Beilharz. While there, being troubled with neuralgia, she repaired to the dentistry rooms of Dr. Sanders for the purpose of having several teeth extracted. To relieve Mrs. Shaw of the pain necessary in the operation, Dr. E. T. Martin was called in to administer chloroform. The anesthetic was administered, and while Mrs. Shaw was under its influence the teeth were extracted, but what was the horror of those present to find, upon the completion of the dentist's work, that the patient was dead! All was done possible to bring Mrs. Shaw to life, but to no avail. The untimely fate of Mrs. Shaw has cast a gloom over the community of Liberty, and the bereaved family and parents have the heartfelt sympathy of all. The funeral took place on Monday. Mrs. Shaw leaves a husband and three children. |
