Day was in very frail health, the suddenness of her passing early yesterday morning shocked her friends.Mrs. Day returned to her home here in recent months after a long period of failing health during which she was at the home of her daughter in Toronto. She was seen about town frequently and seemed to be surprisingly active for one who was far from well. She visited, and was visited by, her friends and many felt that her condition was not so serious as at first believed.Early yesterday morning a neighbour, Mr. Cox, noticed the lights burning in her home and just had gone to the house to investigate when Nick Burnside, on his milk route, arrived. Together they entered and found Mrs. Day. Dr. Blackwell was called but Mrs. Day was beyond medical help.
