Death of Mrs. Ernest.
Mrs. Todd D. Ernest [sic], after an illness of eight weeks from a complication of diseases, died Tuesday morning at her home in the Hurricane neighborhood. For two weeks prior to her death she had seemed to improve, but a sudden development of heart trouble resulted in death. Mrs. Ernest through her active services in social gatherings and church work enjoyed a large acquaintanceship and was universally esteemed.
She was a daughter of Joseph Freeman, of Clark township, and was married to Todd D. Ernest, son of David Ernest, Nov 1, 1878. Besides her husband she leaves an only daughter, sixteen years old.
Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at the Hurricane Baptist church, of which deceased was a member, conducted by Rev. C. H. Hall.
