She revived a short time afterward, but soon sank into unconsciousness and passed away, Saturday morning about 6 o'clock. Mrs. Leidall was apparently in good health, and able to care for the home as usual, with no intimation that she was near the border land, until the final summons came.

Mr. Leidall had not been well for some time and to him and the rest the family the sympathy of the community goes out in their hour of bereavement.
