Miss Suella Luther.

Miss Suella, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles O. Luther, died at the residence of 
her parents, No. 652 Locust street, Ninth Ward, at 10:30 o'clock this forenoon, 
after an illness of several months of pulmonary trouble.

Miss Luther was born in 1879 in the vicinity in which she died. She was a sister 
of Corporal Edgar Luther, of Company H, Fifth Regiment, and Private William 
Luther, of the same company, who are not on their way to Camp Thomas at 
Chickamauga Park. Her cousin – Valentine Luther –- is also a private of the 
company.

Her sister –- Miss Sadie A. Luther –- died at the home of her parents, of the 
same disease, December 14, 1897, and her cousin–-Miss Emma Kate Lucas–
daughter of J. Emmett Lucas, died of similar trouble at her father's residence, in 
Lower Yoder Township, last Thursday.

The deceased was a member of the Franklin-street Methodist Episcopal Church, 
the Sunday School, and the Epworth League Chapter, and was a faithful 
attendant at the services up to the time she was compelled to remain at home.

She is survived by her parents, four sisters, and five brothers, viz: Cora, wife of 
George Galbraith; Mollie, wife of Fred Colwes; William, Charles, Robert, 
Gertrude, Edgar, Maude, and Earl.

Rev. Dr. James Mechem will conduct the funeral services at the residence of the 
parents at 3 o'clock Friday afternoon, after which interment will be made in 
Sandyvale Cemetery.
