    Mrs. Bessie Tomlinson, daughter of Mrs. George Pitman, died at her home in Indianapolis last Thursday. She was born in this city and had many friends who will regret her early death. After her father's death some years the family went to Indianapolis where the deceased was married. Burial was at Crown Hill in that city.

    The date of death (10 Feb) is incorrect. She died on 11 Feb according to her death certificate.
