sitloned to carry out her special Ideas and 

 wishes In rehabilitating this room. 



As stated yesterday morning in the brief 

 announcement of Mrs. Sprunt's death, just 

 before The Star went to press, she had been 

 in failing health for more than a year, and 

 though the most eminent specialists had been 

 called Into consultation and she had spent 

 some time in Baltimore and elsewhere under 

 their especial care, all that could be done 

 availed nothing in the end, when she passed 

 quietly and peacefully away, surrounded by 

 loved ones and those who had ministered so 

 lovingly to her for the long weeks that she 

 had suffered. 



Hundreds of friends called at the home 

 yesterday to pay their respects and to utter 

 a word of sympathy to those so deeply bowed 

 down in grief, while many telegrams and ex- 

 pressions of sympathy came from friends and 

 relatives out of the city, many of whom will 

 be in Wilmington today for the funeral, which 

 will be conducted at the home, on South 

 Front street, this afternoon at 3 130 o'clock. 

 Rev. J. M. Wells, D. D., pastor of the First 

 Presbyterian Church, officiating, assisted by 

 the Rev. Dr. Alexander Sprunt, of Charles- 

 ton, S. C, a brother of Dr. Sprunt, who 

 arrived yesterday to be with his brother and 

 other members of the family In their sorrow. 

 The Interment will be in the family lot in 

 Oakdale Cemetery.
