     Funeral services for Miss Ila Pearl McPherson, 1148 Spruce street, an Indianapolis teacher who died Sunday while spending her vacation at Lake Winona, following an operation for appendicitis will be held at the home at 2:30 0'clock tomorrow afternoon. Burial will be in Crown Hill cemetery.
Miss McPherson was born in Indianapolis and had lived here all her life. She was a graduate of Manual Training high school and of the Indianapolis Normal. She had been a primary teacher in Indianapolis public schools for a number of years. She was a member of the Seventh Presbyterian Church and taught a Sunday school class for a number of years and was interested in many lines of church work.

She seemed to be recovering but complications developed Sunday and she died suddenly. No relatives nearer than cousins survive.
