OBITUARY-THE TABLE ROCK ARGUS

On Monday morning Mrs. Mollie Sampson, wife of Emory R. Sampson left her home at Kingman, Kas., to visit a dentist at a town about twelve miles from her home to have some teeth extracted; and she was in her usual health when she left, and when some hours later her husband received a telegram that his wife was dead, it did not seem possible that the news could be true. The dentist had administered chloriform to Mrs. Sampson, whose physical condition was not such as to stand it, and she died in a few minutes after being placed under it's influence. The coroner was summond who held an inquest over the remains, the result being that the dentist was held to answer to the district court for the death of Mrs. Sampson.
The deceased was a Pawnee county girl. Whose parents now live near Burchard, her maiden name being Mollie Donahue. She taught school in the county for several years in the Blacklaw, Hansen and Steinauer districts, and about eleven years ago she was united in marriage to Emory R. Sampson, a son of our townsman, R. H. Samson.
To them were born three children-two boys and one girl-the oldest being ten and the young being seven years of age.
The first intimation of the sad affair which the Table Rock friends had, was a telegram received by R. H. Samson from his son, announcing that the remains would be brought here for burial and on Wednesday afternoon they arrived accompanied by the mourning relatives. A large number od sympathizing friends followed the remains from the depot to the cemetery.
The affair was a very sad one and the bereaved husband and motherless little ones have the fullest sympathy of the people of Table Rock, many of whom knew and loved Mrs. Sampson.
