Five or six years ago she united in marriage with the late Mr. Alex :Beggs, who also died of pneumonia. About two years ago she lost a prom- ising son, from a similar trouble, and now again she is forced to part with her daughter who was just developing into womanhood, when she would be a comfort and companion to her mother. Words fail to express the sympathy for Mrs. Beggs and family in their sore bereavement.
