Miss Lillian Winifred Luschen, 21, a popular member of the younger social set of the city and daughter of a prominent Columbus family, passed away at Columbus hospital at 7 p.m. yesterday, following an acute attack of appendicitis.
Miss Luschen had been afflicted with chronic stomach trouble and complications for several years, but was able to be up and around until about a month ago. A few days after she became bedfast, she was removed to the hospital for treatment. Her condition improved somewhat and she was able to return home about 10 days ago, but the following day she was stricken with appendicitis and was again taken to the hospital. Yesterday an emergency operation was performed as the only hope of saving her life, but her resistance was at such low ebb she was unable to rally.
Miss Luschen, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John R. Luschen, was born on a farm two miles east of Columbus, Aug. 4, 1908. When she was four years old, the family moved into the city, and have since made their home at 1771 Twenty-eighth avenue. She attended Columbus high school, where she was a popular member of the student body, and was graduated in the class of 1926.
After leaving school, she served as bookkeeper for her father in the Luschen grocery store for awhile and then was employed for nearly a year and a half as cashier at the Montgomery Ward store. A young lady of charming personality, she was also talented musically, both as a vocalist and a pianist. Possessed of a lovely soprano voice, she twice represented the Columbus district in the Atwater Kent audition, competing in the state contests in Omaha in 1927 and 1928.
She was for several years a member of the Federated church choir and prior to that time was a member of the junior choir. She had appeared as soloist in many of the choir's programs, and also at a number of civic and social functions. Socially, she was identified with the Polly Parrots and We Moderns clubs.
She is survived by her parents; two sisters, Misses Alyce and Mary, and a brother, Norris. Funeral services will be held at the Federated church at 2:30 p.m. Thursday, preceded by a prayer service at the home at 2 p.m. Rev. Walter H. Rily, the pastor, will officiate, and there will be special music by the choir. Burial will be made in Columbus cemetery. [ColfaxDeutschlandPlatte.FBK.FTW]
