'MRS. LOREN V. TULLIS DEAD.'

Leon friends were shocked last Friday when they learned that MRS. LOREN V. TULLIS, wife of the well known Decatur auctioneer, had passed away at
her home. MRS. TULLIS, we understand, had been ill but a short time. Everything possible was done to save her life but without avail. An obituary will be published in a later issue of the
Journal. The bereaved ones have the sympathy of all.

OBITUARY

~ ~ ~
BLANCHE ROBERTS was born at Westerville, Iowa, March 3l, l890, died at the home of her parents, MR. and MRS. T.R. ROBERTS, near Decatur City,
Iowa, December 3l, l9l5, aged 25 years and 9 months.

The deceased was united in marriage to LOREN V. TULLIS, of Decatur City, at Benton, Iowa, on April 4, l9l5. MRS. TULLIS was a beautiful and
charming young woman, loved by all who knew her, and her death came as a great shock to her relatives and friends. She had not been feeling well for about a week, but it was not realized that she was in a serious condition until two days before her death. She had gone to the home of her parents for a holiday visit.

The bereaved husband, parents and other relatives have the heartfelt sympathy of everyone in their sore bereavement. Her young life had been one of extreme usefulness, and the few months of married life had all been honeymoon.

Funeral services were held at the M.E. Church in Decatur City on New Year's Day, conducted by Rev. Teeters, Pastor of the Christian Church at
Kellerton. The floral offerings were many and beautiful and a vast concourse of sorrowing friends attended the services.
Interment was in the Decatur Cemetery.
