Woman, 62, Expires After Premonition

1920

Apparently Was in Good Health When Priest Was Called

PATERSON, N. J. -- Sister Hildegarde, 62 years old, who had been attached to St. Joseph's Hospital here for forty-two years, died within half an hour of a premonition of death.

She awakened her roommate, Sister Mary Magdalen, and informed her of the premonition and asked that Father Julien be sent for.

When Father Julien arrived he saw that she appeared to be in the best of health, but granted her request and gave her the last rites of the church. She then lay down and passed away a few minutes later.
