Mrs. Cline was stricken early in March and made two trips to Excelsior Springs in the hope of benefiting her health, but at the last trip her physicians told her that there was little hope for her and advised that she come home. Before coming home she went to visit her brother and it was while there that she became so low that she could not be brought home and it was there that she died.
