Mrs. Frank Lenzner
Passed Away Suddently Early Thursday Morning

Like a bolt of lightning from a clear sky came the report early yesterday mornign of the sudden demise of Mrs. Frank Lenzner. One week ago last Tuesday Mrs. Lenzner was taken sick with the grippe but gradually became better until Monday when a complication of nervous disorders set in and she gradually grew worse until finally death broke the brittle thread of life, and the spirit took its flight to the abode where all suffering is at an end.

In Genessee, N.Y., where the deceased was born and reared, she was know as Anna Bell Hamill. Her widowed mother still resides at this place. From childhood up to the time of her death she was always of a quiet and refined disposition and greatly respected by all who knew her. On Dec. 31, 1891, she was united in holy wedlock with Mr. Lenzner, who now mourns the sudden departure of his companion, the mother of his two orphaned children. Besides a mourning husband, a daughter, Gladys, nine years old, a little son, Gray, nearly three years old, the deceased is survived by her mother, three brothers and one sister.

The time for the funeral is not fully settled as we go to press, but it is stated that it will be either Saturday or Sunday.
