MRS. JOHN OLIVER DIES THIS MORNING
SUCCUMBS TO ATTACK OF PNEUMONIA AFTER BRIEF ILLNESS.
The community was deeply shocked this morning by news of the death of Mrs. John Oliver. Death came this morning at 4:30 from pneumonia after an illness of about a week's duration. A distressing feature is the fact that Mr. Oliver, who recently submitted to a minor operation in a hospital at Des Moines, Ia., and is still confined to his bed, was unable to return to his home when Mrs. Oliver's condition became critical, and will probably be unable to attend the funeral.
Mrs. Oliver, who was 47 years of age, had been a resident of Roundup for about a year, having come here from Ekalaka, Mont., and had endeared herself in the hearts of many Roundup people during her brief residence here. Besides her husband, who is cashier of the Roundup State bank and receiver of the Citizens State bank, she is survived by five children, three boys and two girls, her mother, Mrs. F. L. Foster and a sister, Mrs. Foster Cleveland, both of Ekalaka.
Dr. and Mrs. G. A. Baker, the latter a niece of Mrs. Oliver, arrived here at eleven o'clock last night from Hardin, having been summoned when her condition became alarming.
Funeral arrangements have not yet been made, but it is possible the remains will be shipped to the old home at Ekalaka for burial.
