    3. No source noted, penciled date of May 31, 1918, from an unidentified scrapbook of clippings titled COLLECTION OF LOCAL MONROE COUNTY OBITS donated to the Monroe County History Center, Bloomington, Indiana. YOUNG LADY'S UNTIMELY DEATH Miss Catherine Carr, Aged 21, after a Year's Illness Miss Catherine Carr, beloved and popular among her acquaintances, joined the silent majority this morning, the final result of almost a year's illness. She had made an unequal contest for life as against disease, an operation in the city hospital being part of the effort, but without avail. She returned about a week ago to the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas J. Carr on West 7th Street and continued to grow worse until the final summons. Miss Catherine was aged 21, was a favorite local high school graduate of the '16 class and had spent one year in the university when her health failed. She was a member of the First Presbyterian choir and as a member of the church took much interest in its work and welfare. Besides the parents is the one sister, Miss Edna, of the Breeden & Co. Store, and the many friends join in sincere sympathy that one so loveable should be called away. Miss Carr was born in Bloomington but the old family home is in Harrodsburg, and the body will be laid to rest in Clover Hill north of the little town. Funeral is to be from the residence here at two o'clock Sunday in charge of Pastor Plymate. The pallbearers are six special friends: Louise Rogers, Edna Campbell, Flora Burch, Nellie Carter, Marie Myers, Ola Butcher. Flower girls: Norine and Elizabeth Dodds, Seretta Shaffer, Margerie (sic) Campbell and Edith Butcher from the Presbyterian choir.
