Miss Coughlin was the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.J. Coughlin of Dexter, formerly of Ellsworth. She graduated from the Dexter High School in the calls of 1907 with highest honors. Later she accepted a position as a teacher in the grammar school which position she held until she was obliged to leave for the sanitarium. Her condition had been improving all the time and she was expected home this week but Friday a change came when meningitis set in and life slowly ebbed away. Miss Coughlin was of a quiet and lovable disposition making friends easily. She was one of the most popular girls in Dexter and highly respected.
