Mrs. Jennie Murray, 49, wife of James A. Murray, 114 Miller avenue, who suffered 
a fractured skull in an automobile mishap last Thursday, died at the University

The funeral will be held this afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Muehlig funeral 
chapel with Rev. A. E. Kurth in charge. Intermant will be made in Forest Hill

vehicle. She struck her head against the door of the car or a fence post it is 
believed.

uninjured.
