Sudden Death

While returning from a visit to her sister, Mrs. A. Ryckman, in the Sixth Ward Monday evening, Mrs. J. O. Dunham dropped to the sidewalk, and before help could reach her passed to the world beyond. She was accompanied by her daughter, Mabel, who preceded her on the walk. Upon nearing the Faust building at the corner of Brown and Rives streets, she was overcome with weakness and asked her daughter to procure some hot water for her, and while the girl was after it she fill. Policeman Asmundson was in the neighborhood and hastened to her side, but could render no assistance. A physician was immediately summoned, but death came before he arrived. She had been subject lately to violent pains in the region of the heart, and had complained a great deal of a choking sensation in her throat.

Mrs. Dunham was thirty-nine years of age, and had been a resident of this city for several years. She was the mother of six children—three boys and three girls— the oldest daughter, Edna, being the wife of Mr. A. E. Lockwood, an office employe for Wisson, Bronson & French.

Mr. Dunham was at work on the Slossen homestead some fifty miles from this city, and did not hear of his wife's death until Tuesday. The funeral will be held at the residence Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. E. N. Hawley conducting the services.
