Miss Dora
Belle Head, 77 years of age, died Sunday at 2:30 a.m.
after a two week illness of colitis at her home in Russell Court,
LaGrange. Miss Head was born in Oldham County about two and
one-half miles from La -Grange and had remained in this community
all her life. She was the daughter of Lawrence Woodford Head
and Susan Emily Head. She joined the Christian Church
under the ministry of the Rev. Robert Matthews.
She is survived by one sister, Mrs. C. C. McRoberts and brother, C.
C. Head & several nieces and nephews.
She was intensely interested in the new church being built by her
group of friends and it was eminently fitting that her funeral was
the first service to be held in the church. At 2 p.m. Monday
services were held by the Rev. J. N. Kelly, assisted by the Rev. J.
B. Yager. There were many beautiful flowers. Her favorite hymns were
sung by Mesdames H. M. Brooks, W. T. Guthrie, J. N. Kelly, Messrs.
E. M. Bland, R. H. Snyder, with Miss Christine Goldsborough at the
piano. The pall bearers were John McRoberts, William Netherton, Bert
McMakin, W. W. Head, Richard Woodsmall, J. C. Haffler. Friends
coming from a distance were Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hansbrough, Misses
Maude and Peal Hansbrough, and Emma Julian.
