MRS. SIMEON BELKNAP IS STRICKEN AFTER AN APPENDICITIS OPERATION

Death came suddenly on Saturday evening about 10:30 to Mrs. Caroline Christine Belknap, wife of Simeon Belknap, Sr., 523 N. Fourth street. Her death is attributed to appendicitis from which she was a sufferer for a few days prior to her death. On Saturday afternoon she was taken to Pawating hospital where an operation was performed, an operation in which her brother-in-law, Dr. Fred R. Belknap of Benton Harbor assisted. Her condition seemed favorable for several hours after the operation or until about 10 o'clock when the change came.

Mrs. Caroline Christine Belknap was born in Niles on October 29, 1877, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John William Knott. She was married to Simeon Belknap on July 31 1902. She had spent her entire life in Niles. She is survived by her husband and by three sons and one daughter who are: Allan Belknap, of Chicago, Lydia, who is secretary to the Niles board of education, Simeon and Donald Belknap of Niles. The latter is a member of the Junior class of the Niles high school. Besides the husband and children she is survived by the following brothers and sisters, Mrs. Lena Blake, wife of H.O. Blake, Miss Ida Knott, Charles, Fred and William Knott, of Niles, Mrs. Elizabeth McPeck, wife of F.A. McPeck, of Selma, Ala. and Lewis Knott, of South Bend. On account of the illness of her daughter and of her granddaughters, both of whom have had operations recently, Mrs. McPeck will be unable to attend the funeral services.

The body is at the Rutherford Funeral Home and the funeral services will be held there tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. Burial will be made at Silver Brook cemetery.
