Ethel ATKINSON, widow of Edward ATKINSON, died at the University hospital at Ann Arbor, at 11:45 Saturday night, where she had been taken on Oct. 29 for treatment.

She was born near Penn, Cass county, Aug. 14, 1880, a daughter of Scott and Maria (WOODRUFF) HESLET. On June 5, 1904 she was married to Mr. ATKINSON, who preceded her in death in 1918.

She possessed a kind and generous nature and made a wide circle of friends.

She is survived by one son, Ward G. ATKINSON and two brothers, Roy and Lyle HESLET, all of Three Rivers; two sisters, Mrs. Bert SHEPHERDSON of Three Rivers, and Mrs. Clyde KNEVELS of Newburg township, Cass county. Two grandchildren also survive.
