    Mrs. W.V. Hook Dead
    Mrs. W.V. “Rosa” Hook died very suddenly at her home on Navarre Street this city Wednesday at 2 o’clock p.m. While on the street Tuesday she was taken ill with heart trouble and went at once to her home and a physician sent for. She was apparently in no great danger and it was thought she would soon recover.

    Wednesday at 2 o’clock she lapsed into a sinking spell and in a few moments was dead. The blow fell with crushing force on the husband, children and relatives who were all unaware of her dangerous condition. The children who were away from home, Fred from Kansas City, Golda from Topeka, C.M. and wife and Mrs. Conlan and husband of Junction City and Mrs. Martin and husband of Topeka all arrived during the afternoon.

    The funeral will be conducted this afternoon at 2 o’clock form the Presbyterian church by the Rev. H.L. Nelson of Topeka, her former pastor.

    The news of Mrs. Hook’s death spread with incredible rapidity and amazement and deep sorry were expressed by all. She was one of the grand good mothers who everyone loved and held in the highest esteem, and her sudden death casts a gloom over the entire community. The obituary notice will appear next week.
