This morning at 1:15 o'clock Mrs. Margaret M., wife of William Kirlicks of this city, died at her late home in the third ward after a protracted and severe illness. She was born on October 11, 1859 and died on April 14, 1890.
All that a loving husband and affectionate relatives could do to prolong the light of life was done, but the remorseless destroyer could not be turned away. She was only 30 years of age and was one of the lovable characters among the ladies of this city. Harris County was her birthplace and nearly all her life had been spent in Houston.
A devoted husband and three loving children bear the brunt of sorrow. Mr. James Pickens, well known here, was a brother who mourns alongside a sorrowing mother and sister. The funeral took place this afternoon from the First Baptist Church, and the dear lady was buried at Washington Cemetery.
