Cairo, Iowa, Jan. 4 - On last Sunday morning our community was again saddened. The grim monster death laid his hands upon one of our neighbors, Mrs. Lillie Rutt, who, on last Saturday night succumbed, to that dread disease consumption, of which she had been a sufferer for some time. She leaves a husband and two small children to mourn her departure. The funeral services were held at the Bethel church Tuesday at 11 o'clock, Elder Chamberlain conducting, after which interment was made in the cemetery south of town.
