Funeral of Miss Lucy Healy Held This Morning.

The funeral of Miss Lucy Healy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Healy, was held this Wednesday morning at St. Augustine’s Catholic church, where a large number of her friends and former schoolmates gathered to pay their last respects to her memory. The band played at the service and led the procession to Mr. Calvary cemetery, where burial was made. Lucy would have been 22 years of age on Jan. 10th and during her short life had endeared herself to all who knew her and among the large number of floral offerings were pieces from school and church friends. She had realized for some time that she was to die and had talked with her family about it and made plans for her funeral. Of gentle spirt, sweet manner and lovable disposition she had so endeared herself to her parents, brother and sister that the parting was a sad event and finch no solace in words. The influence of her life will have a lasting effect upon all who knerw her intimately. John Sommers had a splendid sale Monday on the Sol Guth farm, southeast of town. It totaled almost $2»800, which was about S6OO more than he had counted on. He had some good horses and cows, the latter selling up to SBO per head. John went to Lafayette today and expects to enrage in business there. The Guth farm will be tenanted next year by Louis Hooker, who was on fllh B. Forsythe farm for several years.
