Briggs of Deerfield. She died Dec. 19th at Cadillac, the temporary business place of her husband, after a sickness of ten days. She was not considered dangerously Ill., however, until the evening before her death when disease of the heart set in and in a few short hours she breathed her last. They had been making preparations to spend the holidays with parents and friends here. The remains were brought to this place for interment, accompanied by the bereaved husband and a few friends, and were buried on Thursday from the residence of C.H.

Twenty-four hours prior to her death she was looking forward to a long and happy life with the companion of her choice. She was a dutiful daughter, a tender sister, a loving and affectionate wife, and will long be mourned by the bereaved husband and friends, as well as a large circle of her young associates."
