MRS. FRANK SAYRE DEAD.
Passes Away Suddenly Sunday Nor
ming From an Attack of Heart
Disease.

The community was shocked Sun
day morning to hear of the sudden
death of Mrs. Frank Sayre, who pas
sed away that morning. She arose
as usual Sunday morning, completed
her toilet and had breakfast. La
ter in the morning she was sitting
in a chair conversing with Mr.. Sayre
He went into another room, for few
moments, and on his return Mrs
Sayre was dead, death coming in.
stantly and without any apparent
warning. She had been troubled
with her heart for some time. Mr.
Sayre had just finished the erection
of a handsome new home, and the
family had just moved in a few days
before. Mrss Sayre's health had been
so poorly previously that she had ex.
pressed the thought to friends that
she didn't think she would live to
occupy the new home.
Ella Crossman was born April Is
1851, in Fond du Lac, Wis, and
came to Iowa with her mother in
1863. She was married to j. J.
Caward in Cresco in 1870, and NOV.
ed to st. Paul. In 1897 she was
married to Frank Sayre and they
came to DEBORAH and made their
home here ever since. She is sur.
vived by the bereaved husband and
two daughters, Mrs. l.. E. Thorp, OF
Chicago and Miss Ella Caward, who
is taking a trained nurses course
at the Cresco hospital.
In the death of Mrs. Sayre, Decor
ah loses one of her most prominent
and highly respected ladies. She
was possessed of a sweet, kind dis
position, and her sudden passing
causes much sorrow in the homes OF
many dear friends. The grief stric.
ken husband and daughters have the
sincere sympathy of all in her loss.
The funeral services were held this
morning at ten o'clock from the
home, Rev. Willett, of the Congre.
gational church officiating, and the
remains were taken to Cresco for in.
terment in Oak Lawn cemetery.

Iowans Picnic i'm California.

Saturday, February 21, at East
lake Park, Los Angeles, will occur
the fifteenth annual picnic of the
Iowa Association of Southern Cali

doubt enjoy the climate, but if they
were only back in dear old Iowa
right now, wonder what they would
think about the ideal weather we are
enjoying?

He Saw His Shadow.

Monday was ground hog day, and
an ideal, bright sun shiny day al
that, so the little cold weather prog
nosticator saw his shadow no doubt
If he came out of his quarters foI
that purpose. So we suppose it is
six weeks more of winter now. At
any rate let us hope to get few
days of real winter so the ice man
can get his houses filled for the sum-
mer's need.

1t was decided to hold the 1914
fair the week of September Sth, q
week earlier than last year. The
society is now out of debt, which is
good news, and with a clean slate tc
start on this year, one of the great.
est fairs in the history of the coun.
ty will be held. Last year a good
many thousand dollars was spent in
remodeling the grounds, which are
now as nifty as any in the state. The
improvements are of the noticeable
kind too. There is plenty of room
and excellent space provided for au-
tomobiles. Last year there were
nearly 500 on the grounds, and
many more can be taken care Of
With the interest and enthusiasm
manifested during last years fair
the officers intend this year to give
the people the time of their lives
An early start will be taken to Sc
cure the very best attractions posi-
BILE, and this year there will be an
excellent program of horse racing
with some of the best horses pro.
durable.
Another subject discussed, sug.
gested by Mr.. Walenta, who is q
we'll known full blooded stock raiser
was to have a stock sales pavilion
on the grounds where animals could
be exhibited and sold to the best ad,
vantage. 1t is a good idea, and nc
doubt will be carried out. Now lei
everybody in the county boost fol-
their fair for 1914, and we will have
a hummer.
