January 28, 1873 - November 17, 1907
Wife of WF Orr
*Obituary
Rogers Democrat
Wednesday, November 20, 1907
ORR, Mary Arbana NELSON - Mrs. Felix Orr, a sister of Rev. W.R. Nelson, died Sunday evening at four o'clock at her home on West Walnut Street. She had been seriously ill for only a short time. Funeral services were held at the residence Monday morning and were conducted by the members of the Pastors Association of the city. Mrs. Orr was living with her mother on the Lee place, which they bought when they moved to Rogers from Boone county only a few months ago. Mrs. Orr was thirty-four years, nine months and nineteen days old and leaves a husband and two children, Verlaine and Zera, the oldest a boy and the younger a girl. Mrs. Mary Arbana Orr (nee Nelson) was born in Boone county and lived there nearly all her life. She was married to Felix Orr in 1897. She united with the M.E. church when quite young and had always lived a devoted Christian life. Her untimely death is a great loss to the little family and they have the heartfelt sympathy of our people, who realize that none but the Father of us all can soften the blow that has taken the wife and mother and left the once happy home desolate and lonely.
