Show s TM Zl1 JDI QUIWOMANDEAD s A Feature of the Midwinter Fair Passes Away In Indian Fashion A visitor to the Midwinter fair in San Francisco says that the little old Taqui woman at the Arizona Indian village who was said to be 110 years old is dead Yet they say there it was the new country coun-try that killed her and the clothing It is not good for a Taqui to wear shoes and the women are sick when they feel the tight dress across their shoulders She died just at sunset which the Indians In-dians say is a good sign Before she died they washed her face and put on her shroud and carried her out of her wigwam and laid her on the bare ground put stones under her head and uncovered her neck and arms because be-cause they said it was good she should feel the fresh air for the last time on her skin When she had died they put a cloth over her face raised her arms high over her chest and clasped her hands together to-gether and placed a burning candle at her head and one at her feet and began to wail for her All night the village women wailed around the body and the next day it was buried in Calvary cemetery ceme-tery |
