MRS. W.J. LOHR IS SUMMONED

Succumbs At Her Home After Five Weeks' Illness

Had Resided Here for More Than Sixty Years - Was a Member of United Brethren Church

Mrs. William J. Lohr, age 70 years, passed away at her home on Washington street at 4:30 pm Saturday afternoon, following an illness of five weeks' duration. Her death was due to a complication of ailments, superinduced by her advanced age.

Mrs. Sarah Richardson Lohr was born in West Virginia in 1845. She came to this city with her parents when she was still quite young. She was an active member of the United Brethren church.

Her husband, William J. Lohr, and three children, Mrs. James (Nellie) Reynolds, George H. and William P. Lohr, all of this city are left to mourn her death. A sister, Mrs. Samuel Hensley, residing here, also survives.

The funeral was held at 2 o'clock this afternoon from residence, Rev. C.L. Young of the United Brethren church officiating. Burial was made in Greenwood cemetery.
