ELMER DAVIS and wife, of Otter Creek Township had more than their share of
trouble last week. Their infant daughter died Thursday and was buried on
Friday. Two days later their house caught on fire but fortunately MR. DAVIS
happened to be out in the yard and noticed it. He gave the alarm over the
telephone and soon had enough help to get the fire put out, but not until it
had damaged the house considerably.

course in the Ottumwa High School. This little lady has earned the money to

home of her sister, MRS. D.O. CAMPBELL, died this (Friday) morning. Funeral
services will be held at the home of D.O. CAMPBELL next Sunday at 12 p.m.
