RELATIVES ARRIVED

Mother And Sister Of Mrs. Parsons Reach Muncie After Long Journey

Mrs. S.C. Petty and daughter, Mrs. Minnie Moorman, of Seattle, Wash, arrived in Muncie Friday evening shortly before five o'clock. They are the mother and sister of Mrs. Frank Parsons who was killed in a gas explosion last Sunday night. Shortly after they arrived, the funeral arrangements for the unfortunate woman and her child, were completed. The services will be held from the residence of Harry Parsons, Normal City, Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, the Rev. T. A. Reynolds officiating. Interment will be made in Beech Grove cemetery. While the funeral will be a double one, the remains of the mother and child will not occupy one casket. The husband and father, Frank Parsons, will not be able to attend the services. His condition, however, is improving and the attending physician is of the opinion that he will recover providing no complications arise.

Mrs. Petty and daughter were not made familiar with the details regarding the accident and death of the Muncie woman until their arrival here. Upon receiving the information that the daughter and sister were killed, they started immediately for this city and made a quick trip, not being compelled to await connecting trains. The mother was prostrated upon learning of the death of the child and her grief was doubled up learning the nature of the accident. It is probable that she will remain here for some time after the funeral before returning west where she will reside.

I didn't post them because I forgot to get the dates, which were one to three days, as I recall, prior to the above article. Contact me if you want those articles: Email  Shirley Pearson)
