The sudden death of O.W. Black, who passed away Wednesday morning at the home of his son, F.W.

Jacobs, of Grinnell; Mrs. J.P. Dale, of Greenfield; Mrs. J.G. Horsford,of Mitchellville; and Mrs. W.L. Quaintance, of New Sharon.

Funeral services will be held at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon from the F.W. Black home, conducted by Rev. W.J. Todd. E.A. Black is expected in time for the funeral.
