Last Thursday at 12 o'clock at her home in Pearson, Mrs. Walter McCall laid aside her mortality and passed into the eternal. Her death was very sudden, she having been sick only two days. It seems that she was taken with measles only a few days before, and during her sickness she craved more water than was thought best for her. On Wednesday night after all had retired she arose from her bed, went to the well and drank to her content. She had scarcely returned to the house before congestion seized her and she lived until 12 oclock next day.

Mrs. McCall was the second wife of Mr. Walter McCall, merchant at Pearson, and they had been married but little over a year. Two months ago their union was blessed with an issue and the little babe is left motherless in the world.

Mrs. McCall was about thirty years of age, a member of the Methodist church and a good christian woman.
