COULTERVILLE YOUNG LADY DIES FOLLOWING OPERATION
--------------------------------
Scarcely had Coulterville people at home and elsewhere recovered from the distressing news of the untimely end of one of their number when another bereavement cast a pall upon them.
Mrs. Alice Shimer LITTHANS, a popular and lovely girl, and a bride of only three months, died at her late home in Los Angelese on Monday, August 27th, following an operation for appendicitis. Mrs. W. U. CONOVA and Miss Florence SHIMER hastened from Coulterville upon word of her illness and were with their sister when the end came.
The body was brought to Coulterville for burial and the funeral held there last Thursday afternoon was attended by scores of sorrowing relatives and friends.
Mrs. LITTHANS was a member of one of the earliest pioneer families of Coulterville. Her grandparents were the late Mr. and Mrs. James SHIMER. She was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Austin SHIMER and was born in Coulterville in November, 1896. Therefore she was not quite 21 years of age.
Besides her husband (Henry Emil Lytthans) she is survived by one brother, James SHIMER, and four sisters, Mrs. George DEXTER, Mrs. W. L. CANOVA and Mrs. F. F. CLARK of Lagrange.
Members of this family have cherished always a beautiful devotion for one another. Especially did the elder sister edify by their motherly qualities and upon Alice, the youngest, whose life had cost the dear price of their mother, a wealth of love was lavished. Bowed now under the weight of grief these generous sisters should find in this some ray of comfort- the grief life of their treasured one was ever bright and happy.
