MRS. C. E. CONANT DEAD.
Popular Young Topeka Woman Passes Away in the Philippine Islands.
Mrs. C. E. Conant, formerly Miss Dorothy Tuckerman of Topeka, died Monday at Dagmutte [Dumaguete], Philippine islands. Her brother, F. M. Tuckerman, received a cablegram yesterday morning stating that she had died and that her death was due to a collapse brought on by the climate. Mr. Conant is coming home with the body.
Around the marriage of Miss Tuckerman and Mr. Conant there hangs a pretty romance with a sad ending. While attending Washburn college during the year 1900 and 1901, Miss Tuckerman, who was then in her senior year, met Mr. Conant, instructor in German and Spanish. Miss Tuckerman took up the study of philology and Sanskrit with Mr. Conant. A mutual interest in their work grew into a warm friendship and before the school year was over Mr. Conant had secured a position from the government as instructor in schools in the Philippines and Miss Tuckerman had consented to accompany him as an assistant instructor.
Mr. Conant went to the Philippines in August last and Miss Tuckerman followed him in January. They were married in Manila in April, and together they took up the work in the government schools. They would not have returned for two years, had Mrs. Conant lived, as the teachers in the Philippines are under contract for three years’ service.
Mrs. Conant was born in Topeka in 1879 and has spent all her life, until she went to Manila, in Topeka. She is a graduate of the Topeka high school and of Washburn college, of the class of 1901. She was an especially bright and energetic student, and during her last year in college was assistant instructor in Latin, which work she carried on in addition to that of her college course. During her last year in college she attained a proficiency in Spanish that enabled her to take up the work in the Philippine schools. She was a popular young woman in the schools where she attended, as well as among the people of Topeka, hand had a very wide acquaintance.
She was 23 years of age. Her mother, Mrs. R. R. Tuckerman, is a teacher in the Harrison school and her brother, F. M. Tuckerman, is employed in the Santa Fe offices.
