Queen Mother Sophia of Sweden Dies at 77
Stockholm December 30 Queen Mother Sophia of Sweden died in her seventy eighth year after several days of illness from inflammation of the lungs. An invalid for a quarter of a century she supported religious work and the Salvation Army amid a private life marked by a royal and controversial marriage. Her fortune is said to go to her younger son Oscar who renounced the throne to wed Ebba Munk. The palace bulletin reported a peaceful end and the city mourned with theatres closed and residents in black. Many social notes recount Christmas visitors and local moves amid the royal event.
