A complication of diseases, resulting from an attack of the flu two years ago, caused a long illness and her subsequent demise. Funeral services will be held Thursday afternoon at the home of her sister, Mrs. D.F. White, 4202 Washington boulevard, Chicago. These services will be conducted by the Rev. Walter Shoemaker, Parish dean of St. Barnabas Episcopal church of which Mrs. McDaid was a devoted member.

Dr. Horton of St. John's Episcopal church officiating. Jane Dixon was born in Clinton August 30, 1868, the daughter of James E. and Margaret Dixon.
