MRS. T. E. FRENCH DIES IN HOSPITAL

KENNARD WOMAN HAD WIDE ACQUAINTANCE THROUGHOUT COUNTY

Blair friends of Mrs. T. E. French were grieved this (Thursday) morning to learn of her death at Immanuel hospital in Omaha at about two o'clock, after an illness of a month. Mrs. French suffered an attack of typhoid fever a month ago and had never recovered her health. She was taken to the Omaha hospital a week before her death.

Mrs. French, for the past 15 or 20 years, had been a practical nurse in the Kennard vicinity and had worked in that capacity in scores of homes, from Bennington to Herman. As a consequence she had a wide acquaintance throughout the vicinity.

Surviving Mrs. French are her husband and three daughters, Miss Margaret, who lives at home, Mrs. H. B. Plugge of Kennard and Mrs. Charles Gottsch, of Washington. Also surviving are three brothers, Charles and W. J. Misfeldt of Winside and Fred A. Misfeldt of Blair, and three sisters, Mrs. H. T. Rhea of Arlington, Mrs. Minnie Hitchcock of Kansas City and Mrs. Ray Brown of Kennard, and two grandsons, Bobby and Billy Plugge. Several more distant relatives also survive.

Funeral arrangements had not been completed Thursday noon
