Mrs Houston died at seven o'clock this morning

Saturday, April 27, 1901

A beautiful warm day, bright sun, all of us well. David Badger arrived at eight this morning from Chicago, he has been ill, but is better. Mrs Judge Allan Houston died this morning at seven o'clock, from a clot of blood on brain, she eighty years old. Mattie Belle and family will go in mourning. Mrs Houston's 2 sisters Mrs Hull andMrs Ferrel are coming to funeral.

Mattie Badger has gone to buy mourning for Mattie Belle.

At fifteen minutes of two, Mr Houston took the Carriage with Lylle Hull and went to the depot to meet Mrs Hull, but she got off the train near her Mother's house and rushed home to find the white flowers and crepe on the door it was a great shock to her. The other daughter will arrive to morrow. At four o'clock Mrs Shreve and I went out in her large Carriage with the horse that is lame, he has not been out for three weeks, but he is still lame, so we only went up to Mrs Judge Houstons house, to take Mattie Belle up.
