Obituary..

The funeral services over the
body of Miss Gretchen Horton,
eldest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
T. G.. Horton of Watersmeet, who
met her death IN an auto accident
a week ago, was held in the Union
Congregational church of that
place July 10th. The magnificent
display of flowers, the packed
house, the long line Of autos which
accompanied the remains to Iron
River where they were laid to rest,
spoke feelingly of the place Miss
Horton held in the hearts of the
community. To know her was in
variably to like her, and there are
none who will not miss her CHEEKY
smile and unselfish manner. The
deepest sympathy is with her par
ents and relatives in this time Of
bereavement. Xxx
