    • This was transcribed from newspaper clippings saved by Margaret Fletcher. Unfortunately the clippings did not include the paper name or dates. I believe they came from the Whiteside Sentinnel.


      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)
    • April 1913.

      Schools Closed for funeral.

      The Morrison schools closed Friday afternoon in respect to the memory of Mrs. Charles Fletcher whose funeral services were held that afternoon in the Presbyterian Church. Mrs. Fletcher was a teacher in the grades of the local schools for a number of years. Her funeral was the largest in this city for many months. Fifty mourners occupied the seats around the bier at the church in addition to two hundred others who assembled to pay their respects to their beloved friend. The floral tribute paid the deceased was unusually large and beautiful..
