McLaren of Minneapolis, who is expected here this afternoon, but burial will be made at Clinton besides the mother of Miss McLaren. Miss McLaren had been a resident of Adrian for a long time and for years worked at her trade of vest maker for A.H.Wood and then for a less time for the newer firm of Wood, Crane & Wood, finally retiring from active work owing to failing health. She had been a member of the old Congregational church and later affiliated with the First Presbyterian church. Miss McLaren was past 80yrs of age, and Scotch. She had been a remarkable woman having been successfully operated upon on two different occasions for cataracts, recovering her eye sight very nicely. Last October in a fall she had broken a leg near the hip and spent some months in the hospital in consequence, recovering to the extent that she could get about again, which was remarkable with her advanced years.
