The community was shocked to hear of the death of Mrs. John Schell Monday morning at her home in the Burnaugh apartments.
She had been a sufferer from ill health for over two years and during the past year had been in Portland at a sanitarium in hopes of receiving benefit. She returned home a week ago.
The funeral services were held at the residence of her only daughter, Mrs. W.F. Craig, Wednesday at 2 p.m., Rev. Cullison officiating.
Interment was at the Enterprise cemetery.
Mrs. Schell was born in Missouri and was aged 59 years, 8 months and 5 days.
Mr. and Mrs. Schell came here from St. Louis, Mo., 6 years ago, and have made this their home and have made a host of friends who grieve sincerely at her passing.
