R. A. Ritchie Loses Wife.

Everyone here was tremendously shocked when a wire was received Sunday afternoon announcing the sad fact that Mrs. Robert A. Ritchie had suddenly died Sunday forenoon of heart failure, death occurring at Eton Rapids, Mich., to which place Mr. and Mrs. Ritchie recently moved to make their future home. David and Robert Ritchie and Chas. Cochran were making arrangements to go to Eton Rapids to be with their father at the funeral service when in answer to their telegram further word was received that the service would be held at two o'clock Tuesday afternoon, too early for them to be able to arrive in time.

Mr. and Mrs. Ritchie had been married only since the holidays and had only recently gone back to her former home to reside. Her unexpected death comes as a tremendous shock to the husband and Robert Ritchie's grief is shared by hosts of Hamilton county friends. His loss is a heavy one and he is assured of the deepest sympathy of the friends in this community who have known and highly esteemed him for so many years.
