Died in Detroit

Following five weeks illness, death came to Mrs. Edwin C. Groom, nee Jane Corlis, formerly of Villa Nova and Waterford, at Grace Hospital in Detroit, in her 60th year. Three specialists were unable to make a diagnosis and with the constant attention of three graduate nurses were unable to effect a recovery.

Besides her husband, four sons and one daughter mourn the loss of a faithful wife and devoted mother: Ward E. of Mason City, Iowa; Claris, Mildred, George and Birney of Detroit.

Services were held in Detroit, followed by services in the Waterford Baptist Church on Saturday by Rev. J. D. MacLachlan, assisted by Rev. J. B. Moore. Interment was at Greenwood Cemetery.
