MOST SUDDEN DEATH
Mrs. Edith Porter Expires With Paralysis of Heart.
The host of friends and acquaintances of the family of Hon. W. H. Thompson were surprised and pained to hear this morning of the death of Mrs. Edith Porter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomson at the home of the latter. In fact the sad report could at first not be believed. It proved, upon investigation, only too true.
Mrs. Porter arrived in the city some four or five weeks ago. While ailing she was not regarded as severely ill. She went later to the home of Dr. Porter, father of Mr. Porter, to receive treatment. Her ailment was not regarded as serious and she returned home about a week ago to be with her parents here. She became worse and though under the care of physicians suddenly passed away this morning.
Mr. Thompson was in Omaha though he had expected to be here today and, it is learned, accidentally missed a train this morning. Mr. Porter, who travels for a Cedar Rapids, Iowa house, is on the road and was also not present. Telegrams are being sent out along the line and he is expected to arrive here during the night. Mr. Thompson will return tonight. Under these most sorrowful circumstances, it can readily be imagined that the family is prostrated under this sudden and heavy blow. . .
The deceased was but twenty four years of age this month. Besides her parents, husband and two brothers, she leaves an infant son, aged twenty months. No arrangements for the funeral have under the circumstances been so far been thought of, the arrival of the bereaved husband and father being awaited.
