DEATH CLAIMS ANOTHER

The community was shocked last Friday morning by news of the death of Mrs.
Sherman Dufur at New Bridge, as a result of a blood vessel bursting in the
brain. Mrs. Dufur was apparently in usual health up until 9:15 Thursday
evening when she was stricken with partial paralysis and soon lost
consciousness, death coming at 12:15 Friday morning. The funeral services were
held at the home, Rev. Wixom officiating, and the remains laid to rest in the
Eagle Valley cemetery.

Jessie S. Proctor was born on Sept. 1 , 1877, at Johnstown, Pa.; on April 28,
1904, she was married to Andrew Sherman Dufur at Council Bluffs, Iowa; they
located in Nebraska where they remained until 1911 when they came to Pine
Valley afterwards returning east where they remained until the fall of 1914
when they located at New Bridge.

She was a woman of kind, loving generous disposition, highly respected by all
with who she came in contact, and her death is deeply regretted by the entire
community.

Besides the grief-stricken husband, the deceased leaves a son eleven years of
age who is heartbroken by the sudden demise of his mother. Both afflicted ones
have the sincere sympathy of all.
