Attica, Ind July 26 – Mrs. Enos Feuters (Fenters) a well known and respected resident of Attica died Sunday morning at her home in the south part of the city at 5 o’clock. Cancer was the cause of her demise. She had been ill for about a year but had been bed fast only for the past 9 weeks. Mrs. Feuters (sic) had been doctoring with an Indian doctor in Kansas for a cancer. He had given her salve which she had used and the cancer dropped out and the wound seemed to be healing nicely when an internal cancer appeared. She was about 50 years old. Besides the husband she leaves three sons: Charles, Austin and Clint and one daughter, Mabel all of Attica. The funeral will be 2:30 Tuesday afternoon, Rev. AW Jackman officiating. ~~~Transcribed and Type by kbz
