MISS REBECCA E. ORR

  Bellwood friends were grieved yesterday to learn of the death of Miss 
Rebecca Elizabeth Orr, for many years a resident here, who passed away at the 
home of her niece, Mrs. L. P. Bullions, of Swissvale.  Miss Orr was the last 
of her family.  She was a daughter of Joseph and Rebecca Morrow Orr, and was 
born and reared in Sinking Valley.  In 1882 she and her sisters, Misses Mary 
and Tillie, came to Bellwood and only a few years ago, after their death, she 
went to make her home with her niece.
  She was a devoted member of the Presbyterian church at Bellwood and it is 
quite fitting that in the church she loved so well that last rites in her 
honor will be held.  The body will arrive in Bellwood on train No. 24, due at 
3:45 Sunday afternoon, and will be taken directly to the Presbyterian church, 
where a short service will be held and friends may take a last look at her 
silent form.  Interment in Logan Valley cemetery.
