| Obituary & Death Notice |
 | Luta Douglass
Mrs. Charles Fletcher (Luta Douglass).
At 10:15 last evening on the day following her forty fourth birthday, Mrs. Charles Fletcher passed suddenly away at the home of her mother, Mrs. Maria Douglass at 403 East Main Street. Mrs. Fletcher was stricken with a paralytic stroke about a year ago and has been in failing health ever since. Her sudden death came quite unexpectedly to the immediate members of her family. Yesterday at noon she took a sudden turn for the worse and kept sinking fast until the final summons came.
Luta Douglass was born in Unionville, Illinois, April 1, 1869. She grew up in this vicinity, received her education in the Morrison schools and won for herself an excellent reputation as a teacher before she was united in marriage to Charles Fletcher in January, 1881.
Mrs. Fletcher continued to follow her vocation as a teacher and was connected with the Morrison schools during all her married life until about three years ago when her impaired health forced her to give up the work.
The deceased is survived by a husband, Charles Fletcher, one son, Freeman, who was in Chicago at the time of his mother?s death a mother, Mrs. Maria Douglass, at whose home Mrs. Fletcher was staying at the time of her death; and one sister, Gertrude J. Douglass, a resident here and a teacher in the Morrison public schools.
All arrangements for the funeral have been postponed until the (unfortunately the clipping stops here)
