TRESSIE MCNALLY COLLUM

Last survivor of the McNally family of pioneers.

Tressie Collum died suddenly at her home on Broadway in mid morning Monday, October 3. Neighbors called as they regularly do to check on her and found her on the floor. The physician who was called pronounced her death was of natural causes or a fall, the time probably just before she was found. Mrs. Collum had been in poor health for some time, but was able to stay alone in spite of failing eyesight. Funeral arrangements are pending at Bramer's Funeral Home.
