Mrs. John K McGregor
The death of Mrs. John K. McGregor, 203 Bethesda Ave, occurred last Saturday, under most sad and distressing circumstances. Her death was caused by a dose of carbolic acid, without doubt taken accidentally. She spent Friday night alone in her house, arose in the morning, and is supposed attempted to take a dose of peppermint. She mistook the bottles and swallowed the poison. She lived until five o'clock in the afternoon.
Mrs. McGregor and her daughter, Nellie, have recently been attending the Chataqua Assembly at Madison. On Friday afternoon Mrs. McGregor, determined to return home, thinking that possibly Mr. McGregor, who was at Mondovi, Wis., might come home when if she were absent, he would find the house closed. Miss McGregor had an engagement for Friday evening and so decided to stay until Saturday morning and the mother returned alone. She sat upon her porch that evening, and as her neighbor, George Richards, passed to his duties as night watchman at the Industrial School, she said to him that her husband had not come home, that she was alone in the house, and that she would like the watchman to look over at her house occasionally during the night.
At 8:30 the next morning Mr. Richards returned home, and heard cries and moaning at Mrs. McGregor's. Fearing trouble, he tried the doors of the house, and finding them locked got a ladder and went in at an upper window. He found Mrs. McGregor in her nightgown, walking about in great agony. Neighbors came in and physicians were summoned at once, but in spite of all their efforts Mrs. McGregor died in a few hours. She was unconscious most of the time but regained consciousness two hours before her death.
The theory of Dr. Hugo Philler, who was the first physician called, is that the unfortunate lady swallowed the poison without detecting it, because her senses of taste, smell, and sight were somewhat dimmed, as evidenced by the facts that she wore strong glasses and suffered from hay fever. The three bottles in the cupboard from among which Mrs. McGregor accidentally took the acid, were filled to about the same height. Dr. Philler's statement to the coroner was deemed sufficient and no inquest was held.
Miss Nellie McGregor arrived home at 10 o'clock Saturday and Prof. McGregor and his only son, George, came in the evening. It was a sad homecoming and the deepest sympathy is felt for the stricken family.
The McGregor family came here several years ago, Prof. McGregor being employed as principal of the Industrial School. He left that institution the first of last July. The family made many friends and Mrs. McGregor was much beloved. She was a member of the Baptist church and a most efficient worker. Funeral services were conducted at the residence, Monday afternoon by her pastor, Rev. W. A. McKillop. The remains were taken to Mondovi for interment, that place being the future home of the family.
Mrs. McGregor leaves surviving her husband and the son and daughter mentioned, the son, George, having just completed a medical course at John Hopkins University. He is spending a vacation with his family. Mrs. McGregor was about 55 years of age.

MEIKLE.—At Delafield, on March 19, 1883, aged 78 years, Mrs. Robert Meikle, wife ot Robert Meikle. Mrs. Meikle was married to her husband in the year 1825, in Edinburgh, where Mr. M. engaged in business, and remained until the year 1850, meantime raising a family of eleven children, six of whom now survive.
In the year 1850 they emigrated to America, deeply regretted by a large circle of friends, by whom they were highly respected, and encouraged and accompanied by the prayers of the church, to which they had both early in life connected themselves.
At first they located near Waupun, Wisconsin, but after a residence of six years there, removed to the town of Delafield, where they have remained ever since.
In her long married life of 58 years, Mrs. Meikle has acted the part of a true wife, a loving, helpful companion, a devoted mother, and a humble Christian, dying as she had lived, in-full faith-and trust in Christ as her own personal Savior.

DIED
In Lisbon, January 12th 1865, of Congestion of the heart, MEHITABLE MUDGET, wife of David Mudget, aged 72 years and 3 months. The deceased had professed the religion of Jesus Christ for over 56 years. She at all times endeavored to lead a christian life, and to walk with God. She was for thirty years a member of the M.E.Churech; but for the last twenty was not identified with any church, yet she maintained her integrity to the end, and died in peace. She leaves a husband and five children to mourn her loss; but "their loss is her eternal gain." Thus the christian passes away with the prospect of heaven before them. They are heirs to a crown of glory that fadeth not away- to an inheritance that is incorruptible and undefined- reserved in heaven for all that love our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ unto the end. Death has taken her from us to a brighter and better land, where we hope to meet her when the trials of life are over.
