"Aged Lady Stricken
"Mrs. Sarah Thomas, mother of the well known citizen, J. W. Thomas, of near Milford, suffered a heavy stroke, last Sunday evening, at her home, a short distance from that of her son. Mrs. Thomas was at the table finishing her supper. Her grandson, who lives with her, had gone out to start to church. He came back into the house, after his flash light and found his grandmother lying on the floor unconscious. She has not yet regained consciousness. Mrs. Thomas is in the neighborhood of seventy five years old. It is not believed she will recover."
