#2 Printed in the September 22, 1915 Pilot Mrs. Watson Hain died last Thursday, only a few days after the death of her mother, Mrs. Sarah E. Carter, whose death was noted in these columns last week. The funeral was held at the Methodist Church at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon and was largely attended by relatives and friends. Rev. J.W. Lewis conducted the service and made a very helpful and comforting talk to the bereaved relatives and friends.

Blanche E. Carter was born in this city July 30, 1886, and was therefore a little past 29 years of age at the time of her death. She was reared in this city and was graduated from the Blair High School with the class of 1905. For a number of years she was employed by the Nebraska Telephone Co.'s office and made many friends and acquaintances who sincerely regret her untimely death.

She was married to Watson Hain, son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Hain, on April 26, 1911, at the Methodist parsonage by Rev. C. P. Land. They went to housekeeping in the Tyson neighborhood, moving onto a farm southeast of town last year. Besides the husband, she leaves an only daughter, Dorothy Marie, age three years, who is the great-granddaughter of Watson Tyson Sr.

Mrs. Hain, was the last of a family of ten children, but six of whom grew to manhood and womanhood. The bereaved husband and relatives have the sympathy of many friends.
