• Owing to so much sickness in this
community, the young people were
forced to forego all festivities on I

lonesome.

Tuesday, October 29th, at the resi
dence of Elmer Davidson, Mrs. Smith
Wallace died quite suddenly of pneu
monia, resulting from influenza.
This lady was a comparatve stranger
among us, but had made many
friends by her genial manner and
self-sacrificing disposition, going in
to many houses to visit the sick, re
gardless of the danger of infection to j
herself. She was not very strong j
and fell an easy victim to the malady.
A young son, a husband and parents,
also a brother overseas survive her.
They have our deepest sympathy.
