Miss Willie Youngblood, who has been visiting her relatives, Policeman Caleb M. Dempsey's family, died Monday morning, after three months' struggle with the dread foe, consumption. During the long sickness and at the death of Mrs. Dempsey, which occurred several weeks ago, Miss Youngblood was an untiring nurse and attendant.

The body was taken to Gaylesville, Ala., her old home, and buried in the family lot. The deceased was only 22 years old, and was a valued friend and trusted companion to those who knew her, and her death leaves a blank hard to fill to her loved ones.
