from The Pittsburgh Press dated Sunday, February 7, 1897 (page 2):
 
David ORR, aged 18 years, whose home was at 3455 Denny street, died
very suddenly yesterday after attending a festival given the night
before by the Sunday school of the Fourth U P church. His death
caused considerable alarm among others who attended the festival, but
no other cases of sudden illness have been reported.

There is also another David ORR noted buried in this grave plot who
died in 1894. There was a David ORR who died December 8, 1894, in a
