She had attended two local functions during the week and was making preparations to entertain twenty-two ladies at a luncheon at her home Tuesday afternoon of this week. She had been busy about her home all day Thursday, her sister, Mrs. Louise Hackett being with her. In the afternoon Mrs. Hackett went to spend the afternoon with a friend and about five o’clock Mrs. Milroy went to the post office to mail a package to her son Donald who is a World War Veteran and whose health had been such that he is in a Government sanitarium in Michigan. Just as Mrs. Hackett returned to the Milroy home the telephone rang and she was notified that her sister had fainted in the post office which was about eight blocks away. Mrs. Hackett asked a neighbor to go with her for her sister and they drove to the office only to find that it was not a faint but that she had died instantly. Mr. Milroy reached his home for dinner just as they were returning and was told of his wife’s sudden death.
