Two years ago Mr. and Mrs.
George Engle and family of three
daughters and one ' son went to
Texas In December to spend the win
ter. The youngest daughter. Miss
Sarrie May Engle, because so enam
ored of the country that when the
family returned the following spring
she remained, having secured a po
sition with a firm in Amari'lo, Texas,
as stenographer and typewriter.
This summer the family had ar
ranged for a home-coming. The sis
ters had already arrived from Cali
fornia and a most delightful sum
mer was anticipated. Miss Carrie
had resigned her position, closed up
her business affairs, and was to start
for home at once when an P.lness
warned her that she should take a
little rest before undertaking the
tiresome journey. She was suffer
ing from neuralgia and a very se
vere headache. After a night of
severe suffering she determined to
not rise, but take a day of complete
rest. Her roommate was to be at
home all day and give her compan
ionship. After trying in vain to
sleep, as a last resort she placed an
exceedingly small amount of chloro
form on her handkerchief In her
friend's presence, and inhaling the
fumes was soon asleep. Her friend
also fell asleep and slept for sev
eral hours, being awakened by a
lady friend who called to inquire
how Miss Engle was feeling. They
together tried to arouse her, only to
find she had gone the long journey.
The exhaustion of the night of
suffering, a weak heart and general
debility, with small anesthetic, was
a combination too strong for her
and sweetly, quietly she passed to
rest.
Her two sisters went for the re
mains and were seriously delayed by
the floods which have prevailed
there for the past two weeks. The
train preceding them was overturn
ed in the flood and several drowned.
Their train traveled for many miles
over tracks covered with water.
Havoc was everywhere, and not un
til they reached the north were they
free from annoying and unforeseen
delays, and Instead of reaching home
on Sunday, as they had anticipated,
they arrived on Wednesday. Cen-

of Miss Emma Engle, who formerly
