Mrs. R. C. Sweet, who with her husband has been a resident of Blair for the past year, died at the Wise Memorial hospital in Omaha yesterday. She had undergone an operation from which, owing to the weakened condition of her heart, she was unable to rally.

Deceased was about twenty five years of age. She was born and reared at Faribault, Minnesota and it was at this place that she and Mr. Sweet were married.

Mr. Sweet is today taking the body back home for burial. He expects to return to Blair where, with his two little boys, four and two and one half years respectively, he intends to make his home.

The Enterprise extends its sincere sympathy to Mr. Sweet in his sorrow.
