| Word was received in Blair the first of the week that Bige Arnold’s wife, whom he married in Omaha after going there from Blair, died Monday at the family home on a homestead in the western part of the state, where they had located with the hope that the rarified air of that section would stay the ravages of tuberculosis of the lungs, with which deceased was afflicted. Five young children are left motherless, the youngest, an infant, dying a week before the mother’s death.

FORMER BLAIR BOY’S WIFE DEAD
On last Monday, the wife of a former Blair boy, Bige Arnold, died at their home in western Nebraska.
Mrs. Arnold’s health had been poor for some time and it was this reason that took them to the western part of the state where they took a homestead.
Mrs. Arnold leaves five children and a husband to mourn her loss. An infant was buried a little over a week ago, so that Mr. Arnold is having about as much sorrow as he can well stand at this time.
The Tribune extends its sympathies to the bereaved family.
Her actual death date was not listed.
