Friday, 30 May 1913--S. W. Pitney had a valuable mare to drop dead Friday night. The animal was being ridden by Mr. Pitney's 14-year-old son, when she suddenly dropped in her tracks, as if she had been shot. The young man was not hurt by the fall. Friday, 30 May 1913--Miss Ozella Dougherty entertained her Sunday School class at her hospitable home, south of Higbee, on May 25, 1913. When the noon hour arrived the guests were invited out to the dining room where a sumptuous dinner was served, and every one did full justice to the feast. The afternoon was spent with music and outdoor games. At a late hour the fifty guests departed, each thanking Miss Dougherty for having spent such an enjoyable day. Friday, 30 May 1913--DIED OF DIPHTHERIA--Susie, the 13-year-old daughter of Marion John and wife, died at the home of her parents near Burton Wednesday evening after a few days' illness from diphtheria. Interment was made yesterday at Log Chapel. The bereaved parents have the sympathy of all. Friday, 30 May 1913--D. A. Pearce of near Armstrong, returned Tuesday from St. Louis where he had been to attend the funeral of his brother, Charles, who died at Springfield, Mo, at the age of 65 years.
