DEATH’S HARVEST.

M’CASLIN—VAWTERS.

––––

The double funeral of Mrs. McCaslin and her sister, Mrs. Lydia Vawter, occurred Tuesday from their late home, two miles south of town. The former, whose death occurred on Sunday, was the widow of Alexander McCaslin. Mrs. Vawter died the following day at ten o’clock. Both were advanced in years, members of the Presbyterian church and had been in comparatively good health until attacked by la grippe. This was the immediate cause of death. Rev. L. P. Marshall conducted the fun­eral service.
