of the death of Mrs. Dennis McGinty,
the announcement of which (brought
sadness and grief to everyone.

convulsion, from which she collapsed
and fell on the floor. Mr. McGinty,
who was absent at the time, on re
turning home picked her up and
placed her on the bed. She regained
consciousness to a slight extent; but

•came unconsciousness, in which condi
tion she remained till the end came,
about 1 p. m. Wednesday.
Leaving his wife to the care of
Several Takotna matrons, Mr. Mc
•Ginty left about 3 a. m. for Ophir,
and was returning from that place

lenown nurse, in hope that her knowl
edge and experience would be of avail,

lady’s residence here. Miss Helen at
tended school at McGrath and Ta
kotna. She was of beautiful disposi
tion and universally liked by all. She
was married a little over a year ago

sympathy is expressed.

Ginty is survived by her father, Fred
Dakoka, of Bethel; her sisters, Mrs.
