An Eveieth housewife was found
dead of exposure late yesterday. 24
hours after she and her husband
became lost in deep woods on a
search for their first Christmas

of branches.
The husband gathered wood for
the fire, left his overcoat to shield
his wife and started to hunt for
their car. It took him most of the
day.
