Funeral of Mrs. Lawrence McDonald Held Thursday Afternoon.

The body of Mrs. Lawrence McDonald was shipped here from Monticello Friday afternoon at 3:17 o’clock and burial made in Weston cemetery beside the body of her mother, Mrs. Oscar Phegley, who died twelve years ago. Mrs. McDonald was 27 years, 9 months and 24 days of age, and was the only daughter of Oscar Phegley. She is survived, by her husband, one son 9 years of age, her father and other relatives. Some two years'ago her husband and father moved to Dakota, in hope that the climate might benefit her health, but she became no better and for the past six months it has been plain that it was only a question of time until this patient and suffering woman’’would have to give up the struggle. The relatives who came from Monticello to attend the funeral returned home Saturday morning.
