Mrs. Pritchard Dies

Mrs. David Pritchard, after an illness of several months duration, passed away at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. R. Stewart, southwest of town, early Thursday morning, of dropsy. While the immediate cause of death was dropsy, her demise was hastened undoubtedly by the accident she sustained last November, when she was severely burned while attending her house-hold duties, and since which time she has been confined to her bed under the constant attendance of a physician and nurse.

Jennie Francis Stewart was born on a farm near Kennard, Oct. 11, 1888, and has resided in Washington County her entire lifetime.

On August 6, 1906, she was united in marriage to David Pritchard of this place who, with three small daughters, aged four years, two years and seven months survive.

Funeral services will be held at the M. E. Church Saturday afternoon, the Rev. K. W. G. Hiller officiating, and the body will be laid to rest in the Kennard cemetery.----Enterprise

DIES OF DROPSY

Mrs. Dave Pritchard died at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. R. Stewart southwest of Kennard, last Thursday of dropsy, and although death came as a result of this disease, her demise was undoubtedly hastened by the severe burns she received about three months ago. It will be remembered that Mrs. Pritchard was severely burned while attending to her household duties and skin grafting was resorted to in the hope that the awful wounds would heal.

Deceased was born on a farm near Kennard, October 11, 1888, and on August 6, 1907, was married to Dave Pritchard who with three small daughters survive her. Funeral services were held Saturday afternoon, the remains being laid to rest in the Kennard cemetery, Rev. Hiller officiating.

Note: Jennie is buried in Blk 2 Lot 37 Sp 5 in the Kennard Cemetery.
