The community was shocked and
saddened by the message received h'
Miss Lulu Odem last Thursday night.

passed away. Just that morning Mr."
Odem accompanied by Mrs. NJ. l.
Coutts had left Delta to go to Nov

fluenza which rapidly developed into
pneumonia. Death came Immediately
after her mothers arrival.
Only a few days before Ina left
Delta a happy bride. having bea-
united in marriage to Lieutenapt
Clayton Pollard just four weeks pri"-
to her death.
Mrs. Pollard was a native of Iowa
and was born in 1892. Here she span'
her earlier years. coming with h~'
parents to Cedaredge where she lived
until two years ago, since which TIM
she lived In Delta.
She will be greatly missed in thu
choir and in the church work of tn.
Methodist church, as we'll as in the
Epworth League where she was ev~~
a willing worker. but most OF all sh>
will be missed in the home where HOY
sunny nature and happy disposition
endeared her to everyone. for to know
her was to love her.
Besides the devoted husband she
leaves n heartbroken mother. sist-'
and brother to whom the sympathy -
the community goes out.
The body was brought to Delta aI1'
funeral services were held at th~
Methodist church Sunday afternoon
conducted by Rev. George F. Kleip
who one month ago officiated at b.
wedding. After the service the -
mains we're laid to rest in the ceme-
terry. but the spirit had winged ~
flight to the God who gave II. thu
realizing the words of that beautifu'
song. "And / Shall See Him Face to
Face"
The sorrow comes doubly heavy "'-'-
ing to the fact that the father prece'%
ed his daughter to the spirit land bot

brief days to bring joy and gladness,

conceive why so much promise is held
out for few short hours, and then
suddenly withdrawn. but those loving
hearts can rest assured that the beau
tiful flower life went out Of the world
as pure and unsullied as II came. Fu-
