MRS. L.D. FLACK
DIED TUESDAY, AFTER
SEVERAL-YEARS ILLNESS

Mrs. L.D. Flack, who has passed through a long, painful illness from cancer, succumbed to the disease on Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock. Her death had been expected daily for some time, and the end was welcomed, by those who loved her, as a release from suffering.

Mr. and Mrs. Flack have lived in Osage for many years, and have raised a family of sons and daughters who rate high in the community. Left to survive are her sons, Robert, Reece and Ben, and daughters, Mrs. Will Lillibridge, Berg. N.Dakota; Mrs. Will Tallman, Portland, Oregon; Mrs. D. L. Russell, Waterloo; and Mrs. Will McClemmons, Dougherty, Iowa. A sister, Mrs. Will Bailey, and two brothers, George and John Clark, all of Mason City, also survive.
