MRS. H. BAXTER DIES AT OMAHA [front page]
DAUGHTER OF A.H. GRAVES OF MURRAY - LIVED IN NORTH PART OF
NEBRASKA
FIRST TAKEN WITH INFLUENZA
Complications occurred and Rupture of Arterie Caused Amputation of Limb - Disastrous
From Wednesday's Daily: This morning at three o'clock, at a hospital in Omaha, the life of one of the former citizens of Murray ebbed away. The deceased was Mrs. Harry BAXTER, formerly Miss Grace GRAVES, who with her husband and children moved to Crofton, in the northern part of the state, about a year ago. Some two or three weeks ago, Mrs. Baxter was taken sick with the influenza then so prevalent over the state. From that came a complication resulting in the rupture of an arteries of one of her limbs. This proved so serious that amputation of the member was deemed necessary if her life was to be spared at all. In the case of the amputation the desired results were not attained and the patient grew gradually worse until this morning when the angel of death, long hovering near, came to her relief, ending the intense pain she suffered. Mrs. Baxter leaves besides her husband, two children, one sixteen months of age, and the other nine years old. She also leaves a brother and parents living at [looks like] Murray [few words illegible] Christian church at Murray tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon at 2 o'clock. Edna was buried in November 1918 in Murray, Cass Co., NE.²²¹³ There is a tombstone in Young cemetery near Plattsmouth that reads: Grace Baxter 1888-1918 Erected by A.H. Graves family. Dau of A.H.
