A Sudden Summons

A great sorrow overspread the city this morning by the announcement of the death of Miss Jennie Kastner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. L. Kastner. Her death occurred at 6:30 o'clock this morning, although her illness had covered a period of three months, a fatal ending had not been expected.

She was taken sick early in the winter with rheumatism and had been confined to her bed most of the time since, but of late the rheumatic pains had not been so severe and she seemed to be recovering. Other complications set in recently, but still the attending physician did not give out any immediate danger.

On returning home on Sunday afternoon after attending the ceremony of laying the corner stone of the Elk's building, her father noticed a change in her condition and called in another physician and a consultation was held, but it was decided by them that her symptoms were not alarming and another consultation was decided on for 10 o'clock this morning.

About midnight her condition became much worse, and she sank rapidly from that time until her spirit took its flight from its earthly tenement this morning.

Deceased was 16 years old last November, and was a most estimable girl, of a sweet and lovable disposition, beloved by all who knew her, and her death will be deeply mourned by all.

The funeral will take place tomorrow, Tuesday afternoon, at four o'clock from the family residence in West Prescott, to which friends and acquaintances are invited.

Transcriber's note: Jennie is buried at the Citizens Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona beside her brother, Roy Kastner.
