Mrs. C.S. Godwin Dies

Mrs. C.S. Godwin, wife of a prominent farmer of the Center Grove section, died at her home on last Tuesday night about 9 o’clock. Mrs. Godwin’s death was sudden and unexpected. The day before she was up and about her duties, only having recently recovered from a severe case of smallpox. She was taken slightly ill on Tuesday morning; and about 6 o’clock that afternoon was suddenly stricken with severe pains that developed into peritonitis, which overcame her at 9 o’clock.

Mr. Godwin himself is just recovering from smallpox, and his small boy is still very sick from the same disease.

Mrs. Godwin leaves her husband, several daughters and sons, and other close relatives.
