    • Grace Wirsching Pelz

      Citizens of Preston, were greatly shocked this morning to learn of the death of Mrs. Grace Wirsching Pelz, wife of Ralph Pelz, which occurred at her home on Laurel street at 8 o'oclock. One week ago, Mrs. Pelz fell ill with influenza and complications followed, resulting in her death this morning. Deceased was born in Preston 28 years ago and during her residency here, made a host of friends. She is survived by her mother Mrs. Margaret Wirsching and one sister Ida, besides her husband. She was a faithful member of St. Clement's R.C. church, from which the funeral will be held. Arrangements have not yet been confirmed and will be announced later.
