MRS. MARION C. CALLAHAN

Ora Belle, daughter of James and Rebecca Parsons, was born November 12, 1877, near Mt. Sterling, Iowa, and died March 26, 1927, aged 49 years, 4 months and 12 days. She was united in marriage to Marion Curtis Callahan December 27, 1903. Her husband, mother and two brothers, John C. and a twin brother E. J. Parsons, of Mt. Sterling, are left to mourn their loss besides many other relatives and friends.

Mr. and Mrs. Callahan moved to Scotland county, Missouri, about a year after their marriage and have resided there ever since. Mrs. Callahan was a devoted wife and daughter and has been a faithful member of the Christian church since girlhood. At the time of her death she was a member of the church at Azen, Mo. Her quiet kindliness and good deeds will be remembered by all who knew her.
