McGOWAN DIED WEDNESDAY Succumbad to Sever'al Months’ 111- ness Shortly After Midnight Hour. â€"-Interment Takes Place Tomor- row. Th news of the passing of Mrs. William R. McGowan about 12.30 o’clock yesterday morning was a disinct shock to the citizens, who“, while knowing she was seriously ill. had no idea that the end was so near. Mrs. McGowan was first taken ill last April when she contracted a severe cold which deveIOped into pneumonia. The attack was a most, serious one, and though she was slowly recovering, a subsequent at- tack of influenza in July seized her. and she had been more or less ailing ever since. While apparently gaining strength, she had an 0c- easinnal setback from which she would recover, but two months ago an attack more serious than any of the. others forced her to take to her bed. A week ago last Saturday, an- .nther bad spell further tax-ed her failing strength, and from then un- ,til yesterday morning, when she passed away, her condition grew imnre serious. Mrs. McGowan was, hefere her marriage to Mr. William R, Me- Uuwan in 1921, Miss Edith McKen- zie. She was born in Bufl'alo, N.Y.. in February, 1900, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arch. McKenzie. .Her mother «lying a few weeks after she was born, she was brought, to Dur- ham to the home (if her grand- mother, the. late Mrs. Arch. Mc- Kenzie, who, with her daughters. Misses Laura and Edith (new Mrs. Van Wie of Toronto) became deep- ly attached Ln her and bestowed iipmi her every care. Mrs. Mc- (iowan may he said to have spent her whole life in Durham and was held in the very highest esteem by the citizens of the town. Besides her now sorrowing hus~ hand. she leaves three children. a daughter, Laura, and two sons, John and Hobart. She also leaves her fathrr. Mr. Arch. McKenzie, and two sistrrs.
