Devlin, Dora (20 January 1878-14 February 1932)

Loyal---Funeral services for Miss Dora Devlin, 54, former Loyal postmistress, who died Sunday at her home here after an illness of several years, will be held Wednesday morning in St. Balthasar's Catholic Church. Burial will be made in the parish cemetery, Father Aurit will officiate.

Miss Devlin was born January 20, 1878, at Lowell, Dodge County, and came to Loyal in 1902 with her parents, both of whom died here. In 1914 she became postmistress, and served until failing health made it necessary for her to resign. She was succeeded by the incumbent, Harold Tucker, who had been assistant postmaster.

Surviving relatives include an aunt, Mrs. Maggie Rogers, who has been making her home here with Miss Devlin; two sisters, Miss Madeline Devlin of Cleveland, Ohio, and Mrs. George Jarvis, Wausau, a Half-sister, Mrs. Rose Imlay of Denver, Colorado, and two half-brothers, John Devlin of Lowell and James Devlin.
