At about 12:45 o'clock on Wednesday p.m., November 26th, this community was saddened by the announcement of the death of Mrs. Will R. Mulhern, after an illness of many months. She had been at death's door for several weeks and her taking away was not unexpected. She suffered, but bore the pain with fortitude, not complaining, striving to make her sickness as light a burden as possible.

Alta Benson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.H. Benson, was born at Grandview, Iowa, December 13th, 1877. From there they removed to Letts, and later to this place, having lived here for the past 20 years.
