RANDEL, Nancy - Putnam

Only a few short days ago announcement was made in these columns of the death of Mrs. Hurt, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harrison M. Randel from typhoid fever. Now we are called upon to chronicle the sickness and death of the mother, Nancy A, wife of Mr. HM Randel from the same disease the seeds of which were undoubtedly sown while with the devotedness of a mother she nursed and watched at her daughter’s side. Mrs. Randel died on Monday morning June 13 leaving behind husband, son, relatives and host of friends to mourn her loss. The funeral took place on Tuesday the services being conducted by Elder W. H. Williams; burial at Brick Chapel Cemetery. The church was tastefully draped and flowers, ferns, etc were banked about the pulpit, etc, under the artistic direction of Mr. Arthur of Forest Hill Cemetery. At the grave an exciting and sad episode took place. The burial was taking place when Mrs. JL Randel fell over in an unconscious condition.  Willing hearts and hands immediately went to her assistance and every means was used to restore her to consciousness. She remained in an unconscious condition however for over an hour but at this writing she appears to have fully recovered from the attack. Additional sadness and afflictions for the family is caused by the fact that Mr. Harrison M. Randel, his son, Douglas Randel and the latter’s wife are all sick of the same dread ever in its worse form. Sympathy for the stricken family is widespread and sincere and we but voice our own and the heartfelt wish of the community in the prayer that the convalescence and recovery of the remaining sick ones may be speedy and permanent.
