Mrs. Joynt Now Better in Hospital
Word from the bedside of Mrs. M.J. (Regina) Joynt is that she now seems to
be improving.
Mrs. Joynt had emergency surgery in the Methodist hospital Des Moines for
the removal of a non malignant tumor in her spine. She had been in the hospital
here for some time and appeared to be getting better when she decided to go to
Des Moines to visit her son John and family. At Des Moines her condition became
worse and a small tumor was removed from her spine. She did not stand the
operation very well and her condition became serious.
More will be learned when Mrs. Clifford Olson of Des Moines, niece of Mrs.
Joynt, will come to Le Mars in a couple of days to spend Mother's day with her
Mother, Mrs. R.J. Joynt.
