==============================
Miss Inez Gorby, age twenty years, daughter of Professor S. S. Gorby, died Tuesday evening at four o’clock. She was naturally of a frail constitution. Last winter she had an attack of pneumonia which left her lungs badly affected. After a critical illness she improved sufficiently to go with her father to Kentucky where she spent a part of the summer. In September she accompanied her sister, Miss Alva Gorby to Muncie where the latter was employed in the public schools. Growing worse again she was brought back to Franklin where she had lingered several weeks gradually sinking. She was of an amiable disposition and had many friends. Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at the Baptist church conducted by Rev. E. S. Gardiner. Burial at Greenlawn.
