The funeral of  MRS. WILLIAM FURR,   aged seventy nine years, wife of one of the early settlers and substantial farmers of Fountain county, occurred Monday afternoon at New Liberty church, six miles southwest of Hillsboro, at two o’clock and was conducted by Rev. P. J. Lough of  Waynetown, pastor of the church.  The interment was in Rockfield cemetery. Mrs. Furr  died shortly after midnight on Sunday morning after a fatal illness which seized her on last Wednesday.  The nature of the deseased was somewhat puzzling to physicians but her death was probably due to neuralgia of the heart.  Mrs. Furr is survived by her husband, who is eighty three, and four sons,  Ross, Shibe and Ett Furr, all of the same neighborhood and Jacob Furr of Veedersburg.  Mr. and Mrs. Furr  have been living at the old homestead near the New Liberty church, until Mrs. Furr  was taken ill, then relatives came to nurse her. They came to that locality man y years ago and have spent practically all their lives there. -s
