Mrs. Catherine Powell , mother of
the Powell brothers , died at the resi
dence of son her Frank on Monday after
noon of pneumonia. She came on the

children grew strong and she came , but
grew worse. The best care and skill
was given her , but the grim monster
had come for her and she had to go.
H. F. Pade , of McCook , was sent for ,
who embalmed the body and prepared
it for the return journey , accompanied
by two of her sons she had come to vi
sit. They left on Tuesday morning.
The deceased was sixty-five years of
