The whole community was shocked to hear of the death of Miss Minnie Horr who passed away Sunday, December 10, at noon. Miss Horr had been ill for several months and though at times she appeared much improved she was failing slowly but surely until at last the end came and she passed peacefully away. Miss Horr will be greatly missed by the whole community. For many years she was one of our most efficient teachers, a faithful member of the lodge circles, being a member of the Pythian Sisters and ever willing to give of her talents and time to aid in any good works. She leaves to mourn her loss one brother, Mr. Ralph Horr, four sisters, Mrs. Mary B. Campbell and Miss Ida Horr of this place, Mrs. John Ferguson of Niles and Mrs. Dell Allen of California, besides a host of friends. Her life's work is not finished as her example and teaching will live on in the lives of others. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon at the M. E. Church. In accord with her expressed wish the following sang her favorite selections. Soprano, Mrs. Chas. Moore; alto, Mrs. Geo. Barber; tenor, Harry Ackley and bass, Robert D. Walster. Rev. Lusk preached a beautiful sermon from selections from the 23rd Psalm. The pall bearers were six of her pupils namely Messrs. Kenneth Ackley, Degraw Bear, Louis Shultz, Arthur Reams, Henry Osier and Carl Maxson. The church was beautifully decorated with a great profusion of flowers.
