Ursula Flynn

  The funeral of Mrs. Flynn will be held at ten o'clock tomorrow morning at the St. James Catholic church.
  Mrs. Ursula Flynn, wife of William Francis Flynn, died yesterday afternoon at 3:50 at her home in cedar township, four miles north of West Chester, after a brief illness. The cause of death was uracmic poising, following the birth of a child Monday, which lived only a short time. Mrs. Flynn, who had been married but three years, leave a husband and one daughter, two years of age, the whom the bereavement comes with crushing force. The sorrowing husband and motherless child have the sympathy of a large circle of friends who are doing all that neighborliness will accomplish in this sad hour. Mrs. Flynn was a popular young woman, not only in her home community, but in Washington, for she lived here a short time before her marriage. She was a member of the Catholic church and a fine example of young womanhood.
  Plans for the funeral are delayed until word is received from relatives who live in Canada. If they can attend the services it will probably be held Saturday.
  Mrs. Flynn was born in this county, July 15, 1890, and was a daughter of George Saur and Elizabeth Schipfer Saur. She was married at Richmond, February 10, 1914. She leaves to mourn besides her husband, one daughter, Arlys Rose Flynn; her parents, who live in Canada; and the following brothers and sisters: Adolph Saur, Mrs. Frank Heatch, Miss Anna Saur and Mrs. Archie Duffield of Canada; Mrs. A. W. Kern and Miss Clara Saur of Kalona.
