Sudden Death of Mrs. Nellie Fitzgibbon Dickson at Boise Idaho.
The very sad news of the sudden death of Mrs. Nellie Fitzgibbon Dickson was received in a telegram by the family here yesterday morning. The news comes as a great shock to the friends and relatives.
Nellie was married last April to Mr. Dickson of Lansing. Only three months ago they left for Boise, Idaho where Mr. Dickson had a position in the College as teacher. Mrs. Dickson, who was 25 years old, and a victim of tuberculosis, fought the disease nobly, but Tuesday afternoon she passed away. A little son was born to her but whether he lives or whether the wee life went out with that of the young mother has not been learned.
Nellie's two sisters, Nora and Marie, knowing nothing of Nellie's death left Midland early Monday morning to spend a month visiting her at Boise. They would reach there this morning.
The body will be brought to Midland for burial, but will probably not reach here before Monday morning.

The Very Sad Funeral of Mrs. Robert Dickson
Body Brought to Midland Tuesday by Two sisters and the Husband from Idaho
As related last week, Mrs. Nellie Fitzgibbon Dickson, who died December 17 at Boise, Idaho, in the hospital there, was being brought to Midland for burial.
In charge of Mr. Dickson and Marie and Nora Fitzgibbon, sisters of the deceased, the body reached Midland Tuesday noon. The two young ladies were nearly exhausted, having made the trip out there and back in eight days.
Nellie Fitzgibbon was born in London, Ontario, 24 years ago and came to Midland when only four years old. She was always known as a bright and cheerful young lady and was loved best by those who knew her best. Besides her father and mother and husband she leaves to mourn her loss, two brothers, Pat. and John Fitzgibbon, and three sisters, Mrs. M. A. Hunt, Marie and Nora Fitzgibbon.
The funeral was held this morning at 9 o'clock at St. Brigid's church, which was crowded with sorrowing friends, Rev. McDonald officiating. The band escorted the body from the house to the church.
Mr. Dickson and Misses Marie and Nora Fitzgibbon will return to Boise, Idaho, where Mr. Dickson's son, "Robert McDonald Dickson", nine days old, is reported doing nicely.
The family extend their heartfelt thanks for the many kindnesses of friends and neighbors during their recent bereavement.
