Miss Tillie Orr.

  At her home on South First street, Bellwood, after an illness of 
several weeks with lung trouble, Miss Tillie Orr died on Tuesday 
afternoon at 4.30 o'clock. She was born in Sinking valley and her early 
life was spent there, but for the past twenty-six years she had been a 
resident of Bellwood. When quite young she united with the Presbyterian 
church and remained through all her life a faithful and active member 
of that church. She was of a quiet, home-loving disposition and her 
intimate friends knew best those traits of character that made her 
beloved and now greatly mourned. She was sustained through her illness 
by her Christian faith and died in the full assurance of a better life 
in the world to come. Besides her friends at home and in Bellwood, a 
large circle of relatives and acquaintances throughout the county, 
especially in Tyrone and Sinking valley, will regret to learn of her 
death. She is survived by three sisters: Mrs. Margaret Shaffer, of 
Bellwood; Misses Mary and Rebecca, at home.
  The funeral service will be held this afternoon at 2.50 o'clock, 
conducted by her pastor, Rev. D. N. Dobson. Interment in Logan Valley 
cemetery.
