FORMER BLAIR CITIZEN PASSES

The death of Mrs. B. M. Willsey, former Blair woman, occurred on last Friday, March 5th, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Frank Kinney of Lincoln, Nebr. after an illness incident to old age as she was around seventy nine years of age.

Funeral services were held Saturday afternoon at the Lincoln home, and the body was brought to Blair Sunday for burial beside the body of her husband who died about two years ago.

She leaves three daughters, two of whom attended the burial on Sunday. They are Mrs. Kinney of Lincoln and Mrs. Geo. Dennis of Omaha; the third daughter, Mrs. Estella Schrock of Scottsbluff not being present. Rev. Wright of the Methodist church had charge of the services at the cemetery.

The Willseys lived in Blair over twenty five years ago in the house now occupied by Dr. Murdoch which they built and the Kinneys lived next door. Both families were prominent in church and social circles for many years, and were highly esteemed by Blair people.

Since the death of B. M. Willsey two years ago, the deceased has made her home at Lincoln.
