One of the saddest deaths we
are called upon to chronicle was
that of Miss Juanita Dinsmore
Wednesday morning at a hospital
in Moberly where she had been
taken Monday for an operation
for appendicitis.
Miss Juanita was teacher in
the schools at Pattonsburg and
came home to be with her faith
er, John ]. Dinsmore during his
serious illness and funeral obse-
quies and was herself stricken.
She had not been in robust health
for some time and tho she had
been, she could not have surviv-
ed the destructive attack.
Miss Juanita, daughter of Mrs.
Rachel Dinsmore, was born on
the family homestead southeast
of town Dec. 19, 1896. She was
popular with all who knew her
and ranked high as a teacher.
Handsome, vivacious, ambitious,
Miss Juanita was a splendid
girl and the loss to her commun-
ity as we'll as to her family will
be keenly felt.
Surviving are her mother Mrs.
Rachel Dinsmore, sisters Mrs.
Jennie May Wilks and Miss
Thelma and brother Sam.
Funeral services were at the
home today, Rev. W. H. Roberts
who had so recently conducted
services at the burial of her faith
