OBITUARY.
We were sorry to learn the sad news of the death of Mrs. Oma LILLIE, formerly an old resident of this county. She and her daughter, Mary, left, two years ago last spring, for their new home in Harline, Wash., to live her last days
near her sons. A short time after going west she became afflicted with a cancer, which resulted in her death, April 6. Aunt Oma, as she was called, came here in an early day. Her first husband was killed in the war of '61 to '65.
She afterward married Mr. R. P. LILLIE, who was widely known in this country. She was a member of the M. E. Church and lived a devoted christian life until her death. She always had a word for her Master wherever she was. Her loss is greatly felt by all here as well as her children and friends in the west. We greatly sympathize with them in their affliction.
