The sad news of the death of Mrs. T.
W. Billings, mother of our pupils,
Marial and David, reached the school
on Thursday last. She had been sick
for several months in the hospital at
Glendale, Oregon, where she died on the
4th inst. Mrs. Billings, as a pupil,
many years ago was highly esteemed by
her associates. She became the wife of
Thos. W. Billings several years ago and
was an excellent wife and mother. We
extend our sympathies to the bereaved
husband and children.
