Dead at Wren
———

Mary Jane Wallace, of the Wren vicinity, died on December 3, at the age of 66, being a victim of paralysis. The funeral service will be held on Saturday at 10:30, at the United Brethren church in Philomath, with the Rev. Henderson officiating. Interment will be in Newton cemetery.

Mrs. Wallace was the wife of H.J. Wallace, and the mother of a family of several children. These were Dakota folk who had lived in Benton county about three years. The deceased was a highly respected woman, greatly appreciated by friends and neighbors and these sympathize greatly with the bereaved ones.
