Funeral services were held here Tuesday afternoon for Mrs. Lourean  Mowrey,

Mrs. Mowrey, who was 90 years old, died Sunday at a  St.  Joseph  hospital.

They moved to Stanberry in 1914 where he died about nine years later.  Mrs.
Mowrey had continued to make her home here from that time.

half-sisters, Mrs. Camila White of Omaha, Neb., and Mrs. T. A.  Deering  of
Stanberry; one half-brother, Logan Yount of Whitesville, two  grandchildren
