Mrs. Vannier's health had not been good for some time, but herfir neds did not realize the seriousness of her condition until a fewdays b efore her death.
Several weeks ago she became ill and was taken to Passavanthospita l, Jacksonville, for treatment, and her condition showedsufficient imp rovement in a short time to warrant her removal to thehome of her daug hter where she remained until the time of her death.At times her condi tion seemed to show slight improvement, but inspite of all that loving h earts and gentle hands could do to relieveher suffering, she passed aw ay as indicated above.
Mrs. Vannier was one of the best known and most highly respectedw omen of the community, where she had spent all her life. She was ofa k ind and cheerful disposition and won many firneds by the charm ofher p ersonality, who will join in extending sympathy to the bereavedfamily.
