Former Local Lady Passes In California

Mrs. Grace McNeil Sebastian, a former resident of this community, who has been living at Pasadena, Calif., passed away June 3, in a sanitarium in that city and funeral services were held at two o'clock last Wednesday at the Turner & Stevens chapel in Pasadena, with the Rev. Curtis Beach officiating. Entombment was private in the Pasadena mausoleum.

Mrs. Sebastian was the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. W. C. McNeil, former local residents, and was born in Clayton county. She went to Pasadena about 46 years ago and taught in the public schools for 20 years.

In 1920 she was married to Charles E. Sebastian of Monona, Iowa, and they went to Pasadena to make their home. Mr. Sebastian passed away last November.

Mrs. Sebastian is survived by one niece, Mrs. Janet McNeil Sutton of South Pasadena, five cousins in California and two cousins living in South Dakota. Her only brother, H. A. (Gus) McNeil, passed away in 1939 in Pasadena.
