A Peculiarly Sad Case.
Last evening at 9 o'clock Mrs. Ida M. Tipper, wife of George H. Tipper, died at the residence of her brother-in-law, C. E. Metz, 380 Fort street. The circumstances surrounding Mrs. Tipper's death are peculiarly sad. She had left her home and children to minister to the wants of her sister, Mrs. Metz, and two children, who had been prostrated with diphtheria. Mrs. Metz's eldest, daughter died shortly after she was taken ill, but Mrs. Metz and her younger daughter were rapidly recovering, when Mrs. Tipper contracted the treacherous disease. Worn out with her constant vigil, she proved an easy victim, and last night she paid the penalty of her devotion, leaving two children, aged five and eight years, motherless. The remains will be interred at Oakland cemetery to-day, the funeral, of course, being private.
