"Death at 7:15 this morning claimed Miss Elizabeth Wellemeyer, supervisor of music in the public schools of the city, following a brief illness of three days' duation. Miss Wellemeyer was stricken suddenly and violently ill with uremia early Tuesday morning and suffered two convulsions before she was taken to Deaconess Hospital. During the three days following, Miss Wellemeyer never fully regained consciousness, and her temperature remained well above 100 most of the time. At 4:00 p.m. Thursday afternoon, the patient sustained another convulsion, after which her temperature went up to 108 and her action became much weaker. She passed into a stupor shortly after 6:00 p.m. Dr. W. L. Bierinf, of Des Moines, who was called into consultation on the case Thursday, said he believed meningeal complications had set in, but that nothing more could have been done for the patient. She had been in the hospital for a short time two weeks before with a bad case of grippe, but had returned to work for a week just previous to her last illness."
