Column 4LaHarper of May 26: Mrs. Aurilla Brockway, aged and highly respected citizen, was found dead at her home in this city, about eight o'clock this Thursday morning. She had been in poor health for some time and had returned home Sunday after a visit with her daughter, Mrs. Floyd Johnson, of Cameron. Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Smiddy, her neighbors, have been in the habit of going over to see her several times each day and Wednesday took her papers to read and at that time she was apparently alright. She had gone to bed and evidently suffering a heart attack sometime in the night, got up and sat in a rocking chair where she was found by the Smiddy family this morning.
