SUDDEN DEATH OF MRS. J.C. GHOLSON
--------------
Passed Away This Morning After Illness Since Saturday
The people of Cairo were shocked to learn today of the death of Mrs John C. Gholson, which occurred at her home on Park avenue at 7:30 o'clock this morning.
She had only been ill a few days and her death was the result of an attack of pneumonia, which developed a weakness of her heart.
Mrs. Gholson had just returned from Chicago where she had been visiting her daughter, Mrs. Glendale Morgan, who is a patient in a hospital here. Saturday night she was taken ill.
Her end was peaceful.
Mrs. Sarber was 42 years of age, and was a native of LaPorte, Ind. Her first husband, with whom she came to this city, died on May 19, 1899. He was superintendent of the Singer Factory here. She later married John C. Gholson, who survives her with three children by her first husband, Mrs. Glendale Morgan, Mrs. Louis Waldschmidt and John Sarber.
Mrs. Gholson was an active member of the choir, and her absence from the Cairo Baptist church will be greatly missed.
The arrangements for the funeral had not been made this afternoon.
