Girl Grieves To Death
Retta Coleman, 21 years old, daughter of P. Coleman, a farmer
living five miles south of the city, was found dead in her bed
Friday morning, when members of the family went to arouse her.
All windows and the door of the room were closed. The girl is
said to have mourned over the approaching marriage of a brother,
with whom she had been a playmate since childhood and it is
thought by the family that grief may have caused her sudden
death. Justice Sam Bartell conducted an examination. He
pronounced the death of the girl as from an unknown cause and
without foul play. The funeral will be held Saturday morning at
10 o'clock at St. Joseph's cathedral.
