Word was recieved this morning by her aunt, Mrs. Dr. Dexter, of the death, in Cleveland last night of Mrs. Levia Bond Skinner, one of the best known girls, who have grown to womanhood in this city in the past two decades. The death, a sudden one, occurred at the home of her mother, 2070 West 65th strret, in that city.
No recent event of a similar nature has been pregnant with grief to practically the entire city than the death of Levia Bond, as she is still popularly called. She was a native of this community, and lived here through the successive stages of childhood and girlhood to womanhood. During the twenty short years of her life she was notable for the faculty of making and holding friends, which her sweetness of disposition and other lovely qualities made easy for her.
She was a graduate of the Conneaut high school in the class of 1907 and had a peculiar distinction in that she is the first and only second generation graduate of the school, her mother having been alumna before her. She was one of the brightest pupils who have been diplomaed by the Conneaut board of education and seemed to have every prospect of a happy and valuable long life.
She was married shortly after her graduation and lived in this city until last November when she went to Cleveland to make her home with her mother. Some weeks before leaving and shortly after her twentieth birthday she was stricken with a severe illness and was forced to undergo an operation at Grace hospital. As soon as she was able to be about again, she went for a short visit with her mother. She had never been entirely well since and the illness of that time is supposed to have been the primary cause of her death. The immediate cause is not yet known to her relatives locally,
Besides a mother, she leaves two brothers, Charles and Ralph, both well known here. Her friends in Conneaut were limited only by her extensive circle of aquaintances.
