Several weeks ago when it became known that she must undergo an operation and was in so weakened a condition that a blood transfusion was necessary, seventeen Delphi high school students and citizens went to Indianapolis and offered to give of their blood. Merton Baird, teacher in the Delphi grades was chosen for the transfusion operation, but it was of no avail and she gradually failed until her death. She was brought to her home Tuesday evening in the Blythe ambulance and taken to her home. She was a senior in the Delphi High School and was much liked by all of her school mates. She is survived by her parents, Newton and Mattie Morrisett Short, a sister Jessie and four younger brothers. Raymond, Ross, Philip and Richard.
