ITEMS of INTEREST at OREGON NORMAL
Normal friends among faculty members and student body were deeply grieved and shocked last Friday evening by the sudden death of Miss Mona Holt at the home of her aunt Mrs Putnam east of town. Miss Holt, who had very recently entered the Normal, was a graduate of the Washington High School in Portland and lived in Milwaukie. Her very sudden death was evidently due to heart trouble from which she had suffered for some time. The sympathy of the Normal community is extended to her bereaved relatives.

DEAD NORMAL GIRL LONG AFFLICTED
Mona Frances Holt whose untimely death is chronicled in the Normal notes of this issue was born in Salem, June 23, 1905 and her girlhood was spent in that city. Her parents moved to Portland and now reside at Jennings Lodge. Mona graduated with honors from the Washington high school in Portland. Since girlhood she was afflicted with heart trouble and could not stand any degree of excitement.  Her parents were afraid the effect of going away from home to school would be bad for her but she came to live with her cousins, the Putnams, and felt she could risk it. There was nothing in the Literary society program which she attended that evening to cause any unusual stress of mind. Local doctors who attended her case were uncertain as to the cause of death and it was planned to hold an inquest and perhaps an autopsy. But when the young woman’s parents arrived and described her previous troubles, no further inquiry was considered necessary. Her ailment is technically known as mitral regurgitation. Funeral services were held Monday in Salem with Dr H.C. Dunsmore officiating. The active pall bearers were former boy school mates and six girl school mates were honorary bearers. Burial was in the Salem IOOF cemetery. Beside her parents, she is survived by a sister, Thelma, and a brother, William James.
