Obituary:

In the midst of life we are in death. This old saying was truly applicable in the case of Miss Ollie Stray. For some time she has been employed as a domestic with the family of L. TrowbridgeSunday afternoon she concluded to take a visit with her parents who live several miles out the Bryan pike. Shortly after arriving home she was taken with terrible cramps in the stomach. Thinking that the ailment was momentary a physician was not summoned. In the night, however, she grew rapidly worse and Dr. Maerker was sent for. But it was too late, for before the doctor arrived the unfortunate girl had breathed her last. A post mortem was not held and therefore the precise cause of her death is not known but from symptoms described by the family it is presumed that it was either acute peritonitis or the formation of a compact ball in her stomach of bread, she having ate heartily of warm bread at dinner.
