Mrs. D. E. Hollingsworth of Winterset, a life-long resident of Iowa, died here on Wednesday of last week. She was 65 years of age.

Mrs. Hollingsworth was the former Bessie J. Lorimor, a native of Ringgold county, where she was born Jan. 1, 1880, the daughter of Benjamin and Cordelia Lorimor. She had lived in Mt. Ayr, Knoxville, and Des Moines prior to her marriage.

She is survived by her husband; five children, Helen Hollingsworth, Mrs. R. D. Conley, Bernard Hollingsworth, Mrs. Emil T. Norberg, and Doris Hollingsworth; one grandson; two sisters Mrs. John McKee of Tingley and Maude Lorimor of Los Angeles, Calif.; and one brother, Asher Lorimor of Long Island, N. Y.
