DIED

Miss Odilla Orr, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Orr, residing near Andrew, died very unexpectedly of pneumonia on Thursday afternoon after but three days of illness. Miss Orr was a teacher of the Stoney Point district school and went home ill Monday evening. Pneumonia developed rapidly and no human skill could arrest the progress of the dread disease. The funeral occurred Sunday, the Rev. Mr. Shrader of Andrew officiating, interment in the Andrew cemetery, a large concourse of people attending. The floral tributes were many and beautiful. The deceased was a lady beloved by all who knew her and deep sorrow over her untimely death is felt here where she was well known.
