WILLIAMSBURG NOTES
SAYLOR.

  Brinton Leroy Saylor, son of Samuel and Ida Saylor, died at his 
parental home, near Yellow Springs, on Thursday at 12.45 p.m. after a 
week's illness from influenza-pneumonia.  He was born Feb. 16, 1900, 
and besides his parents he is survived by the following brothers and 
sisters: Christian and Mrs. Martha Hearn, of Catharine township, and 
Anna who is seriously ill at home.  The deceased was a member of the 
Lutheran church and Sunday school at Yellow Springs, and was a young 
man of exemplary habits.  He was an industrious and progressive young 
farmer and will be sadly missed in his community.  Funeral services 
will be conducted at his late home by his pastor, Rev. J. M. Rearick, 
on Sunday at 10 o'clock.  Interment in the Lutheran cemetery at Yellow 
Springs.  This family has been sorely afflicted this fall with the 
dreadful disease influenza.  Three weeks ago a daughter, Mrs. Millie 
Colbert passed away, leaving six orphan children to be cared for by the 
grandparents, and death in the family today, and several other members 
in the family dangerously ill make it very trying.  Kind friends and 
neighbors are offering their assistance and extend their sincere 
sympathy in their sad affliction and bereavement.
