YOUNG LADY DIED SUDDENLY
MISS LUCILLE WALTER PASSED AWAY IN BEAVERVILLE, ILL., TODAY. Rensselaer and the community in general were shocked this Saturday morning when word reached here from Beaverville, Hl., telling of the death at that place at 10 o’clock today of Miss Lucille Walters, the fifteen year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Walters, of this city. Although particulars of the “ young lady’s death have not been received, 'it is believed that heart failure was the cause of her death. Thenews of the young lady’s death came as a great surprise, as she left this city only last Tuesday morning to take up her studies at a Catholic institution in Beaverville, for the coming term. At that time there was no indication but that she was in her usual health. Lucille was a beautiful and lovable young lady and was greatly admired by all who knew her, and she had won a place in the hearts of all with whom she can into contact. Her death coming at such a tender age makes it an even more sad one and her place will be a hard one to fill. Miss Walter leaves to mourn their loss her parents and one brother, Francis, besides other relatives and a great many friends. The body will be returned to this city this evening. The funeral arrangements as yet have not been made.
