The following evening he was removed to the hospital and fifteen minutes later the faithful wife and mother breathed her last. Mr. Rankie's youth was spent at Millersport, Eric county, where was widely known, and had many acquaintances in Niagara county, all of who extend sincere sympathy to the afflicted family. To mourn their loss are left five daughters- Ruth, Millie, Esther, Della, Margaret, all at home and a son and daughter of Mrs.Rankie by a former marriage, Charles and Luce Kruber, residing in Buffalo.
