The funeral of Mrs. Lenora C. Orr was held Friday afternoon from the Presbyterian church with Rev. R. A. Garrison officiating. The church was packed with hundreds of friends, including county and city officials, members of the Rebekah and Royal Neighbor lodges of which she was a member.

Mrs. Lenora Constance Orr, nee Wright, was born in Oconto on November 15, 1884, and was 41 years and 7 months of age at the time of her death. Since the age of 14 she had been a member of the Presbyterian church and had taken a prominent place in the choir. On December 21, 1909, she was married to Hunter C. Orr who proceeded in in death four years ago.

She served as deputy county clerk for her husband for ten years and became county clerk upon her husband's death. She was elected again two years ago and was a candidate for re-election this fall. She was secretary of County Clerk's Association of Wisconsin.

The pallbearers were Carl Riggins, Robert Sharp, Ira Telford, Wm. Munsert, Allan V. Classon and Julius Heisinger. Several cars full of flowers preceded the body to Evergreen Cemetery.
