Death, strangely striking twice within an hour, summoned two sisters, both members of a prominent San Francisco family, as they lay ill 20 miles apart.

Hattie Leszynski, ill for weeks from San Francisco, Succumbed at 9 p. m.

Her devoted sister, Hannah, lying desperately ill at the Children’s Hospital in San Francisco, did not know of her passing. But less than an hour later she answered the call. A double funeral was held.

“All the news concerning Jews” is faithfully and promptly reported in the Jewish Daily Bulletin-the only Jewish daily newspaper printed in English.
