Celia Lingwall, aged 17 years, died at the home of A. B. Knox on Sunday last at 3 p.m. of lung fever. The deceased came to this country from Sweden about five years ago. For some time she was domestic in the employ of Rev. George Knox and has for some time been engaged at the place she died. She had no relatives in this country, her parents residing in Sweden. She was a very amiable young woman and those who knew her speak of her only in praise. Though dying far from kindred she was blessed with many friends. The funeral services were held at the Baptist church yesterday, Dr. Reed officiating and the remains laid to rest in the LIberty cemetery
