Mrs. O. C. Slade.

Word of the death of Mrs. O. C. Slade, 68, former Waterloo and Waukon resident, in Chicago Tuesday night was received by relatives here. Death followed a long illness of heart disease.

Stella Deal was born in Waukon, Aug. 18, 1867, and came to Waterloo when she was a small child with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Deal. The father was a millwright here for many years. She attended Waterloo schools and affilliated with the Methodist church in Waterloo. She remained active in church work until her death.

She was married about 40 years ago to Mr. Slade, who at that time was operating a furniture store in Waterloo. They left shortly afterward, going to Chicago. In recent years Mr. Slade has engaged in the insurance business.

Surviving besides the husband are a sister, Mrs. Dora Duffy, Chicago, and four brothers, Judd Deal, Chicago; Clarence Deal, 727 Walnut street; Charles Deal, Cedar Heights, and Ira Deal, Long Beach, Cal.

The body is being brought to Waterloo. Funeral services have been tentatively set for 2:30 p.m. Saturday at the Hileman & Gindt chapel.
