Friends of Mrs. S. Belle Crawford, formerly of Middletown and Hamilton, were much alarmed this week by reports of her condition, she having been taken suddenly ill at the home of her son-in-law, Sloane Gordon, the magazine writer and former Ohio newspaper editor. It was at first believed that Mrs. Crawford was suffering from an attack of pnumonia, but prompt medical attention served to arrest the progress of the disease and she was pronounced out of danger Friday.
