Mrs. Chas. Overbaugh, Jr., died at her home in this village last Suday from Spanish influenza, following the birth of a little daughter, now just a week old.

Mr. and Mrs. Overbaugh had but only a short time settled into their comfortable home when this sad occurance happened. 

The deceased's maiden name was Miss Jennie Hill. She was born in North Shields, England, and was 19 years of age.

She has one sister in Pickering, Ont., who with her husband and little daughter are left to mourn her loss.

Deceased was a member of the Methodist Church, was bright and intelligant, and would, if spared, have lived a good and useful life.

The funeral was held from the home on Tuesday and was conducted by the Rev. J. Melvin Smith. Internament took place in Bay View Cemetery.

The bereaved family wish to express their heartfelt thanks to friends who so kindly and unselfishly assisted them in their sad affliction.
