MRS. ERNEST CLAPP DEAD.
Young Wife and Mother Pawed Away
Yeiterday Evening.
Hundreds of friends in various
parts of tie state will be saJilened at
the announcement of the death of
Mrs. Ernest Clapp, which occured
at the home of her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. G. S. Bradshaw, 227 Summit
avenue at 5:50 o'clock yesterday after
noon, after an illness of several
months. She was 23 years old and
had been married only about two
years.
Her death was not unexpected for
she had been seriously ill for some
time and for several days before the
end came it was known that she was
nigh unto death's door, though the
announcement comes as a severe
shock to her many friends. She was
beloved by all with whom she came
in contact for her gracious manner
and charming personality. She is
survived by her husband and one
child, a few months eld. Before her
marriage she was Miss Kate Brad
ehaw. The funeral services will be held
at the First Presbyterian church, of
which the deceased was a member,
this afternoon at 5:30 o'clock, con
ducted bv Rev. Dr. G. II. Petwiler,
paster of West .Marker Street Metho-
dist church, and liev. C . r.. riougiu, !
pastor of Westminister I'lesbvterilVIl
church. The interment will follow
at Green Hill cemetery.
