Mrs. John Valentine Dies at General Hospital Relieving Her Suffering" Mrs. Arminta Barbara Valentine died about 5 o'clock last evening at the General Hospital, death delivering her of the sufferings attendant to the severe burns which she sustained while starting a fire with coal oil at her home off the West Fourth Road in Ontario a community in Springfield township.

Funeral services will be held Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the home of her sister, conducted by the Rev. G. A. Kie(ule?) of St. James Evangelical Church. Internment will be in the Mansfield Cemetery.
