LOCAL OCCURENCES.
Mrs. Peter Moir, who resided about nine miles southwest of town, died on last Saturday night after a brief illness and the funeral was held from the home Monday afternoon and was conducted by Rev. Moore, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church and the remains were brought to LeMars for interment. Her death was caused by hemorrhage due to puerperal complications and is a particularly sad one in the fact that she was but twenty-six years of age. Five years ago she was married to Peter Moir, who with two babes—survives her. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Osborn of Elgin township. The community sympathize with the bereaved relatives in their hour of sorrow.
