Miss Troxell had been in ill health for nearly a year although it was not until about six weeks ago that her condition became critical. At that time she was taken to the Rawley Hospital at Brazil for treatment. She grew gradually worse and was removed to her home a short time ago.  On Wednesday morning she appeared to be slightly improved but a relapse which came shortly after noon resulted in her death. Miss Troxell was a sophomore at DePauw at the time she gave up her school work.

The funeral will be held probably Friday morning from the home. The Rev. AM Hootman of Greencastle will have charge of the service.
