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.
