Information: MISS MAMIE PROGLER-STRICKEN WITH APOPLEXY, THURSDAY AT 11:30 A.M. NEVER REGAINED CONSCIOUSNESS, AND PASSED PEACEFULLY AWAY AT 9:30 FRIDAY NIGHT- Inexpressibly sad and almost incomprehensibly sudden was the death of Miss Mamie Progler, daughter of Major C. H. Progler, and for years the head of the dress goods department of the A. M. Carson Store Co.  At 11 a.m. Thursday, the 12th inst., she left the store in apparent usual health for an early dinner, that Mrs. Harry Progler and children might go on the 12:15 train to join the husband and father at Ironton, their future home.  The brother and family had resided under the parental roof since the death of the elder Mrs. Progler last August.      Miss Progler ate a hearty noon meal, but was very much effected by the preparations for departure that followed.  She had just returned from a hurried trip upstairs and was on the back porch when she announced to her uncle, N. S. Smith, who was in the room adjoining, a numbness in her right hand and arm.  Mr. Smith ran to her, calling to Mrs. Harry Progler, and began efforts to ...... A moment later she complained of a dreadful pain in her head, soon sank helplessly into the arms of those around her and was borne unconscious to a couch.  Dr. T. E. Rymer, who had been married the evening before, and gone to housekeeping in H. S. Progler's house, standing but a few feet away, helped bear the stricken woman into the house and was active in the application of remedies known to the medical profession.  Dr. I. T. Prickitt was called out from Ravenswood that evening, and Dr. A. N. Frame came from Parkersburg the next morning, but in spite of all that could be done, Miss Progler never again spoke, or even regained consciousness, unless possibly, when her brother Harry came, and expired at 9 Friday night.  She was laid to rest near her mother in the old cemetery, Monday afternoon, after services at the Episcopal church by the Rev. Paca Kennedy, in the presence of a vast crowd, among whom was not one unsaddened acquaintance.  Miss Progler was one of the best known and most popular ladies of the county.  She possessed much of the genius of her talented father, the sturdy common sense of her lamented mother, the tact of her esteemed grand-father, Mr. N. S. Smith, for many years deceased, and was a most amiable lady.  She excelled as a business woman, was a social favorite, most devoted to her father, brothers and sister, mourned constantly her mother, who died even more suddenly than the daughter, and a devout Christian.  She was a superior woman, universally respected and admired, and her sudden taking away is one of the saddest, and has made the most profound impression within the Herald's knowledge of the history of Ripley.
