With the Break of Morn Mrs. Llew
Gilliland Passes Away.
_____________

   The Sidney Daily News of last evening contains the following account of the death of Mrs. Llew Gilliland. Mr. Gilliland was located in Lima for a long time, having charge of his father’s grain elevator here.
   A sad and most unexpected death was that of Mrs. Augusta Underwood Gilliland, which took place at her home on north Walnut avenue at about 4 o’clock this morning. Some six months ago she was taken ill with typhoid fever. She grew better but the fever left her a sufferer from liver and stomach trouble. She was thought to be improving and at no time were there any serious results apprehended until during the last few days.
   Mrs. Gilliland was born in Wooster March 4, 1868. There she grew into womanhood, honored and loved by friends whom she had by the legion. She was graduated from the Wooster high school and for some time attended the University. On November 6, 1889, she was united in marriage with Llew Gilliland. They took up residence at Van Wert where her husband was engaged in business. In 1891, when the Underwood Whip Factory was moved here from Wooster, Mr. Gilliland became interested with his father-in-law in the concern and he moved to Sidney. Since then they have resided here. Of a quiet and unassuming nature, thoroughly devoted to her home, Mrs. Gilliland, during her few short years’ residence among us, won by her kindly disposition and loving ways a large circle of friends. These regret most deeply her untimely death, unable to realize why in the bloom of youth with so much to live for she should be taken away. She leaves a husband and two children -- Margaret, aged five years, and Wells, aged two years.
   The funeral service will be held at her late home on north Walnut avenue to-morrow morning at 10:30 o’clock. The sevices will be private, no flowers received. Interment will be at Wooster. The funeral party will leave here on the Big Four railroad at 1:25 to-morrow afternoon.
