Mrs. Lena HEALY, sister of John LIMING, superintendent of the county home, died at Ottumwa Saturday at 6 p.m. Funeral services will be held at the First Presbyterian church here at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning.

She was assisting tmeporarily (sic) in the Wapello county home when she was suddenly stricken last Friday evening with paralysis and never rallied, passing from this earth Saturday evening, November 5th about six o'clock.

She is survived by an only sister Mrs Harry E. LAKE of Reading, Mass. and three brothers, John M. LIMING of this city; C. C. LIMING of Kansas City and F. O. LIMING of Chicago, all of whom will be here for the funeral services.
