B. J. Ainlay received word Thursday of the sudden death of his sister, Mrs. Effie Richards, 58, of Denver, following a heart attack. He had learned Wednesday that his sister, Mrs. Lulu McNickle, of Seattle, Washington, was critically ill following a paralytic stroke.

Mr. and Mrs. John Ainlay came to Nebraska from Canada, and settled on Timber Creek about seventy years ago, where their large family grew up. Of the thirteen children, there are now six survivors.

Watt and Henry Ainaly, of Los Angeles, and Mrs. Charlotte Fitch, of Gothenburg, attended the funeral of their sister, Mrs. Richards at Denver, Saturday, but B. J. Ainlay, of Belgrade, was unable to attend.
