MISS ISABELLA KUHRT DIES SUNDAY MORNING (she actually died on the 2nd)

Funeral Services Will Be Held At Sacred Heart church This Morning.

Miss Isabella Kuhrt died yesterday morning at the home of her mother, Mrs. Henry G. Kuhrt, 22 East Fifteenth Street, following an illness of several weeks.

She is survived by her mother and by one brother, Henry G. Kuhrt, U. S. R. and one sister, Miss Lucile Kuhrt. She was the niece of Messrs. J. F., Charles I., A. J. and Robert Ryan and of Miss Ida Ryan. Her father was the late Henry G. Kuhrt.

The news of her death will be a source of deep sorrow to countless friends, for Miss Kuhrt was possessed of a rare beauty of character, and was beloved by all who knew her. She made her debut seven years ago, and since that time has been one of the most admired young women in the younger society set. She was a graduate of the Notre Dame convent, of Morristown, N. J., and had friends in the east as well as in the south.

Miss Kuhrt was among the first of the younger women of Atlanta to do valuable Red Cross work at the outbreak of the war. As chairman of a Red Cross committee, she was the first one in this section to make an aviator's vest, and a picture of the first one she made has been circulated widely as a model for that most useful and comfortable of soldier garments.

Miss Kuhrt had a violent attach of grippe in the winter from which she never fully recovered.

Several weeks ago, she went to visit friends in Hartford, Conn., hoping the change there would benefit her. But her strength was not regained and she returned last week, when an illness followed she could not withstandk, and her gentle spirit passed peacefully into eternal life.

The funeral will be held this morning at 10:30 o'clock at Sacred Heart church, Father McOscar officiating. Interment will be in Oakland Cemetery.

The following will act as pallbearers: Captain G. P. O'Keefe, Alfred Priddy, Wimberley Peters, Harold Brady, Esmond Talvey and John McCaslin.
----------
Note: Grippe is influenza or the flu. There was a HUGE flu epedemic, which killed literally thousands of people from early 1918 on through about 1922.
