RATTO -- On Wednesday morning Mrs. Ratto, for many years an old and respected resident of this county on a ranch about three miles from Jackson, passed to the great beyond. Death was caused from a malignant cancer for which there was no cure. About eight weeks ago, Mrs. Ratto went to the Sierra Hospital for relief, but the surgeons after making an exploratory incision found that several vital organs were involved and decided that an operation would not be feasible. They did all they could to relieve the suffering, knowing that no cure could be effected. The patient, fully resigned to the inevitable, went back to the old home about a month ago to await the final summons. A trained nurse was in constant attendance up to the time of death. Deceased was born in Italy about 64 years ago, but the greater part of her life had been spent here. Her husband had preceded her to the grave some yeares ago. She leaves to mourn her loss four sons, Antone, Joseph, John and Henry, and three daughters, two of whom, Mrs. Joseph Vigna and Mrs. Lawrence Sanguinetti, reside in Jackson. The funeral will take place tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. Jackie in California [email protected] _______________________________________________________________
