DEATH OF MRS. A. W. LEE

Was One of the Pioneers Of This Section

The death of Mrs. A. W. Lee has come as sad news to all those who reside near Walnut.

Mrs. Lee has been ill for many weeks past, and, although her death was not expected, yet all mourn her loss, for she held a warm place in the hearts of her friends.

A native of Orion, Ill., she moved early in life with her parents to Kansas, where later she was married to Mr. Lee. She and her husband came to Walnut and located there in 1887, and hence were among the early pioneers of this section.

The brothers and sisters are: Mrs. John Blenz and Mrs. Louis Miller of Spokane, Mrs. Nellie Sowles of Los Angeles, Joseph Engle of Pomona and Burrel Engle, of Covina.
