MORNA MACRITCHIE DIES

Died at Wichita, January 24, Miss Morna MacRichie, aged 22 years, 3 months, 23 
days. This will be a terrible surprise to the friends of the deceased; even 
those who knew she had gone to the hospital at Wichita in the hope of 
prolonging her life by an operation will be shocked at the announcement. She 
has been in ill health for three or four years but until lately no very serious 
fears were entertained for her. Last week it was decided to take her to the 
hospital.  The operation was performed on Thursday, Jan. 21. She went bravely 
to the operating table, recovered from the influence of the anaesthetic and was 
believed to be doing nicely when the change came that ended her life.

Morna MacRitchie was born in Glencoe township, October 1, 1881 and lived there 
the greater portion of her life. Her education was completed in El Dorado where 
her father and the family has resided for several years past.

Her body was brought home from Wichita on the 4 p.m. train today. Arrangements 
for the funeral are not yet made fully, but she will be buried in Glencoe 
township Wednesday at 9:00 o’clock a.m.

In this time of sorrow the hearts of very many El Dorado’s and Butler county’s 
people will flow to the stricken father whose especial care he was.
