ANNA MAY ABBOTT ANSWERS LAST CALL

Death was the victor in a fight of nearly 10 years and claimed the body of Miss Anna May Abbott, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank D. Abbott. It was this continued struggle that made life all the more dear and with the passing of the soul this afternoon at 2 o'clock a circle of relatives and many intimate friends found much difficulty in trying to console each other. Almost all her life Anna May had waged a fight against one ailment after another. It was pneumonia that claimed her and the disease was of the type which has claimed many persons this winter. She was taken ill on Friday and despite everything done she faded away. The deceased was born here 19 years ago and was a sister of Captain Earl Abbott who is in France. She was in great favor with many young people but particularly so in the home of her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. A.W. Scott. The funeral arrangements have not been made.

A cablegram received yesterday from Capt. Earl Abbott shows that cable service is almost as bad as during the war and far removed from the conditions before the world struggle started. His cable advised that he had just received the cablegram announcing the death of his sister, Anna May Abbot, who died over two weeks ago.
