Mrs. Levi Gruber died suddenly at her home in the south part of town, Friday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock, following a paralytic stroke which she suffered Thursday afternoon as she was sitting in a chair at her home. Her death was unexpected and a great shock to her family and her many friends. And while she was not in the best of health, yet her physical condition did not cause the family to suspect that the end was so near.
