The people in this vicinity were pained to learn of the sudden death of Miss Ruth Meeks, one of the most popular and highly esteemed young ladies in this place, on Wednesday morning.
She was stricken several days ago with brain fever, which rapidly increased, causing a blood vessel to burst, forming a clot of blood on the brain, from which she never rallied.

She moved to this place with her parents from Hornell about three years ago, and although she had been in our midst only such a short time she has many friends who will deeply mourn her loss.
The funeral was held at the house Friday at 11 o'clock, Rev. Criss of Howard officiating. Internment in the Brasted District cemetery.
