Friday, May 19, 1911 REMOVED TO THE HOSPITAL Mrs. D.W. VANN was taken to Springfield, Mo., last Monday evening to be placed in the hospital for treatment. Her affliction started with erysipelas on the foot, and developed into more serious complications. The local physicians operated upon her and did all in their power to cure the afflicted member, but seemingly to no avail, and she was removed as a last resort to try to save the foot. Mr. VANN, Dr. MILLER and Miss Dollie MILBOURN accompanied her on the trip which she made in excellent condition. The latest reports from the hospital are to the effect that she is getting along as well as could be expected or hoped for. However, it will be some time before she will be able to return home. MRS. DILLON HOLT DEAD Mrs. Pearl VANN HOLT, wife of Dillon HOLT, and eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D.W. VANN, departed this life at the home of her parents three miles east of town, on Sunday, May 14, 1911, after a short but very serious illness. She was 22 years of age and had lived in this community practically all her life, and was therefore well known. She was married to Dillon HOLT May 17, 1908, and had lived in Fairland until this spring, when they moved out to the farm of her parents. Everything known to the medical profession was done for her, but her time had come and she had to die. Her remains were laid to rest in the city cemetery, in the presence of a large crowd of sorrowing and sympathizing friends. A short religious service was held at the grave, conducted by Rev. CUMMINS of the Christian church, with which church she stood identified. She leaves, besides her husband, a father, mother, five sisters and a brother, and numerous other relatives and friends to mourn her death. The News extends sympathies to the bereaved. ANOTHER GOOD DAY Last Saturday was another good day for Fairland merchants. The drawings and special sales put on and advertised by our merchants drew a good crowd for the time of the year and trade was brisk at all the stores. John F.
