Pioneer School Teacher Is Suddenly Stricken

Miss Caroline Bond, after 24 hours of illness died this morning at 6:30 o'clock at her apartment at 14 S. Seventh street.

She suffered the heart attack about 6 o'clock and died before the physician reached her bedside. Miss Bond was in advanced  years.

The funeral plans have not been completed pending the arrival of Mrs. Carrie DeWeese, of Buffalo, N.Y., a niece, who will leave that city for Niles this evening. The services will probably be held on Monday.

For two winters Miss Bond was in Florida on acount[sic] of her ill health.  She was the last of a family of five girls, one of whom was the wife of Major L.A. Duncan, deceased.
