J. B. Stewart received word last evening of the death of his sister, Mrs. F. S. Carr which occurred at her home in Chillicothe, Ill. on the evening of March 26.

Alice Stewart was born in Lyons on February 13, 1868 and here grew to womanhood. She was united in marriage to the Rev. E. S. Carr on Sept. 30, 1890, at which time Mr. Carr was pastor of the Lyons Congregational church. She is survived by her husband and two children, Marjorie and Richard, and by her brother, J. B. Stewart and uncle, F. C. Brayton.

Mrs. Carr was a graduate of the Lyons High school and her charming disposition has endeared her to a wide circle of friends, many of whom she retained through her long years of absence from this city, and all will be deeply pained to hear of her death. The bereaved family has the heartfelt sympathy of all.

The remains will arrive here Wednesday morning and will be taken to the home of J. B. Stewart, from whence private funeral services will be held in the afternoon followed by burial in the family lot in Oakland cemetery.
