Mrs. George LeClaire, who has been subject to ? trouble for the past three years, died suddenly at her home her on Saturday afternoon. Her death came as a great shock to her family and friends.

Mrs. LeClaire was yet a young woman, only being 42 years, 3 months and 22 days old at the time of her death. During the two years that they resided in this community, her beautiful character and excellent ? had won for her a host of friends by whom she was highly regarded for her amiable qualities, and to whom her sudden death comes as a great blow.
