Editor's Note: Women of a certain age seem to be dying quite frequently in 1898--first Mrs. Bingham, now Mrs. Putney. I believe that Mrs. Putney was Jane Putney aged about 58. She was married to Warren Putney whose grave I found in Levant Cemetery but Jane was not with him.
How very Jane Bennett of Luella to go to a dance and get sick forcing her to stay through her recovery. I hope her host was a man of good fortune.
