Mrs. Adaline Hershire, widow of Mr. A.J. Hershire, a pioneer owner of the Iowa City Press, and local official of great prominence, up to the time of his death 27 years ago, passed away Sunday afternoon, following a brief illness of but a week.
The funeral will be held at 2:30 Tuesday afternoon, from her late home, 111 East Bloomington St., where the end came.
