INSURANCE OF $800 FOR DEAD GIRL GOES TO FAMILY
Miss Cora ____ Was Insured by A.G. Co. as Employee
Insurance of $800 will be received by the family of Miss Cora ____,
whose death occurred last night. Miss ___ was an employee of the
Aluminum Goods Manufacturing Co., and had been with the company for

the plant and her death is deeply regretted.
