Funeral services Saturday for Kathryn Purcell, 19 year old daughter of Mrs. James Purcell, who passed away last Wednesday night at the Border hospital in Sweet Grass, were held Saturday night at the Catholic church in Coutts, Alta. A huge crowd gathered to pay respects to the young woman who was widely known and unusually well liked. Father Van de Gevel officiated at impressive services. The girl's untimely death was caused by pneumonia after a month's illness in the border hospital where she was first confined for a treatment of an infection.
The deceased was born Dec. 20, 1917 at Hutchinson, Minn. She was valedictorian of the Senior class of the Sweet Grass high school from which she was graduated in 1935 and for the past two years has acted as clerk of the school board.
