Mrs. H. D. Perry received a message Tuesday announcing the death of her mother, Mrs. A. J. Whitcomb, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. C.E. Sisson, in Elgin, ill., with whom she had lived for about two years. Previous to that time she had resided with Mrs. Perry and has many friends in Oconto whose sympathy goes out to the surviving relatives in their sudden bereavement.

She was 63 years old but had been reasonably strong and well with the exception of rheumatism, which it is thought in the absence of definite information, may have reached her heart. Mrs. Perry had received a letter from her Saturday written Friday in which she made no mention of her illness and the first word received of it was Tuesday morning when a message dated the evening before arrived telling her serious illness and asking Mrs. Perry to come to her and about a half an hour later the second message was received announcing her death.

Mrs. Perry and daughter Gwen left Tuesday for Elgin and Mr. Perry and son Robert left Wednesday for Milwaukee to meet the funeral party and accompany them to Columbus where the remains will be interred beside the remains of her husband who preceded her some years ago.
