Miss Lockwood Dies At Milan

MISS LOCKWOOD DIES AT MILAN

Milan, Mich., Dec. 12.--Miss Cecil Lockwood, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John L. Lockwood, proprietors of the Stimpson hotel, and one of the members of Milan's best society of young people, died last evening, after a serious illness lasting several weeks. At one time she rallied so as to be able to sit up some, but complication set in and there seemed to be nothing that would help her. She was voted as one of the two most popular young ladies at the Knights of Pythias street fair and carnival last summer.

The funeral will be held at the hotel Monday morning at 10:30 o'clock. Rev. Howard A. Field, pastor of the Burns Avenue Methodist church of Detroit, and formerly pastor of the Methodist church here, will officiate.
