         [Victim of Dec. 26, 1903 Pere Marquette head-on train wreck]
         
         The husband of MRS. DAISY GILES of Lowell arrived in the
       city in response to a telegram from friends here, whose tele-
       phone number was found on the remains of one of the women
       taken from the front end of the day coach. MR. GILES was
       able to identify the remains at first sight. The woman, who
       was 25 years of age, was not greatly disfigured. He arranged
       for conveyance and the remains were taken overland to the
       saddened home in Lowell, toward which the wife thought she
       was riding when her life was snuffed out.
       
         She Took The Wrong Train
         A pathetic feature of MRS. GILES death lies in the fact
       that but for an error on her part she might now be alive
       and well. The woman in hurrying to make her train, boarded
       the Detroit local express instead of the Saginaw accommo-
       dation, which was to follow No. 6, and had doubtless been
       told that she must change at Elmdale, only about ten miles
       east of the point where the trains collided, and she gave
       up her life.
       
         MRS. GILES was 25 years of age, and had been married for
       eight years. Though her family lives in Lincoln, Neb., she
       had been a resident of Lowell for twelve years prior to her
       marriage, residing with an uncle, DR. L. B. MALCOLM. She
       was leading soprano at various times in both the Congrega-
       tional and Baptist churches there, and was one of the best
       known and most popular of the younger set in the village.
       Her body was taken overland to Lowell yesterday afternoon
       and the funeral will be held there.
