As told in the late editions of The Gazette yesterday, a woman proving to be Mrs. Clarkson dropped dead on the street after having been shopping. A sales slip from Denholm & McKay's store, party torn, read: 'Mrs. William - Maple.' This was all the notice had to work on until relatives missed Mrs. Clarkson last night from her home and went to the City Hospital morgue, where the body was taken.

The funeral will be Saturdy from the Home Chapel of George Sessions Sons Co.
