YOUNG LADY IS CALLED BY DEATH

It was with deep sorrow that the people of this community learned last Monday morning that Miss Lorna Connell, fair daughter of James N. Connell of this city, had passed away during the night at the St. George Hospital.

Lorna has been in poor health for several years, and much of the time the last year or two, she has been confined to her bed. She was taken to St. George three or four weeks ago because her condition was not improving, but the change of climate didn't help her as her people hoped it would.

Some time last week her condition grew worse and her people were notified. Her aunt, Mrs. Lizzie W. Adams and her sister, Mrs. Arvilla Marsden, went down from here Sunday morning, but after spending the day there, and believing her condition to be no worse, came back to Parowan. Soon after their arrival here, however, they received a telephone to the effect that she was much worse, and that if her family would see her alive they must hurry right down. They left as soon as possible, but arrived in St. George only to find that Lorna had passed through the veil.

The immediate cause of her death, according to Dr. McGregor, was that her heart gave out, but it is generally understood that the white plague scored another victory in her passing.

Born on June 19th, 1906, the daughter of James N. and the late Zola W. Cornell, Lorna grew up and was educated in the schools here. She was talented, and was one of the communities very charming young ladies. Her passing is mourned by a host of friends and relatives.

Impressive funeral services were held on Wednesday at 2 o'clock, at which Mr. Walter C. Mitchell and Mrs. E. Crane Watson were the speakers. W.L. Adams read some lines he had composed for the occasion. Clayton Dalton played a violin solo. L.J. Adams sang, and three young ladies sang a trio.

To the bereaved father, sisters and friends, the Times extends sincere sympathy in the loss of their dear one.
