Obituary. 



Mrs. W. J. Vesey. 



Stricken by an attack of heart dis- 

 ease while riding on a street car, Mrs. 

 Maggie S. Vesey, wife of Judge Wil- 

 liam S. Vesey, of Fort Wayne, Ind., 

 one of the most prominent women in 

 that city, died very suddenly on Fri- 

 day evening, April S, a moment after 

 she had been taken from the car and 

 assisted into a near drug store. Death 

 was due to arteriosclerosis, combined 

 with fatty degeneration of the heart, 

 from which Mrs. Vesey had been suf- 

 fering for some time. In all proba- 

 bility the fact that Mrs. Vesey had 

 hastened in order to catch the car may 

 have contributed to the crisis at this 

 time. 



Mrs. Vesey's age was 47 years. She 

 was born in Decatur, a daughter of 

 the late Judge David Studebaker, wasi 

 educated at Decatur and in the Fort 

 Wayne M. E. College, and was united 

 in marriage to Judge Vesey on July 



into association. She will be sorely 

 missed. 



MR.S. W. J. V'ESICV 



25. 18S2. Six children were born to 

 this union, all of them, with the hus- 

 band and father, surviving. Mrs. 

 Vesey's love for flowers had led her 

 to engage with her husband in busi- 

 ness as a florist, the firm name being 

 W. J. and M. S. Vesey. Under her 

 management mainly, the business has 

 of late years assumed large propor- 

 tions and an e.xtensive range of green- 

 houses are conducted, carnations being 

 a strong specialty. Judge Vesey is a 

 member of the E.xecutive Board of the 

 Society of American Florists and Mrs. 

 Vesey. besides being active in the 

 American Carnation Society, was 

 prominent in the affairs of the Ladies' 

 S. A. F., which she helped to organize 

 and of which she was president two 

 years ago. 



Socially, Mrs. Vesey was widely 

 known and her sunny temperament 

 made her very popular. From what 

 we have seen and know of her we 

 think hers was a very happy life. Vi- 

 vacious and companionable always she 

 not only took the fullest enjoyment 

 for herself, but diffused it irresistibly 

 among all wilh whom she was brought 



Mrs. Anton Kill. 

 Mrs. Anton Kill, mother of Leonard 

 Kill foimerly of Chicago and now of 

 Los Angeles, Cal., died at her home on 

 Wjnnemac Ave., Chicago, at the age 

 of (A. Funeral was from St. Mathew's 

 clini'ch, Saturday, April 9.
