On Wednesday morning the people of this city were startled at the announcement that Mrs. Kivett was dead.
For several years Mrs. Kivett has been a sufferer from heart trouble and has several times seemed almost at death's door, but she would rally again and apparently be improving when she would again be seized with a return attack of this most treacherous disease. Lately symptoms of dropsy began to make its appearance and on the advice of her physician, Dr. Nelson, she went to Topeka a couple of weeks ago for treatment at Christ's Hospital. She received no benefit from the hospital treatment and so notified her father, who immediately went to Topeka and finding that her death was only a question of a few days, brought her home Tuesday night that she might spend her last few hours among her friends at home. She lingered until Wednesday morning when she quietly breathed her last.
Mrs. Elnora Kivett was the daughter of R. R. and M. A. McAuley, was born in Jackson county, Iowa, January 27, 1856; came to this county 19 years ago where she was married to Mr. Kivett. One child, Winifred was born to them. Mr. Kivett died some years ago. Mrs. Kivett has lived in this city for several years where she has been engaged in the millinery business in connection to her novelty store, which business she continued up to the time of her death.
Funeral services were held at 1 o'clock this afternoon at the Methodist church conducted by Rev. H. P. Mann.
