It was shocking news that we received here Tuesday when the sad tidings came from the county seat that death had claimed Miss Minnie Fisher. She had been a very popular teacher here in our public school for a few years and had gained a large number of friends by her kindness and pleasing personality. The family have the sincere sympathy of the whole community. Of her it may be said, in our midst, that although she is dead she yet speaketh.

Orange City column:

Miss Minnie Fisher died Tuesday afternoon at the age of 33 years. She was a teacher at Sioux Center, Faulkton, S.D., Orange City and last at Mason City. Several weeks ago she came home to take some rest but her condition grew rapidly worse. She is survived by her mother, three sisters and two brothers. The sisters and brothers are Mrs. J.E. Oggel of this place, Miss Nell of Des Moines, Miss Joyce of this place, Vernon of Iowa City and Edward of Orange City. Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon at three o'clock at the house by Rev. McEwan.
