O. R. Shira received a telegram Sunday announcing the death of his mother, Mrs. Alf Shira, which occurred early Sunday morning at Mercy Hospital in Center View, Iowa. She had been ill for the past five years from rheumatism and other complications. She made her home here a number of years, leaving for Iowa four years ago. Her husband who is now at McCall, her daughter Mrs. W. J. Hubble, her son O. R. Shira and a sister, Mrs. A. H. McConnell of Fruitland, all survive her.
