Mr. Orr was born in Connecticut, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. David Orr, pioneers of the neighborhood near Onslow. He was a member of a large family, only two of which are still living, Mrs. Mame Duncanson of Peterson, and Miss Eliza Orr, of Onslow.
Fifty-two years ago, on the past Christmas day, he was married to Miss Elizabeth French, who survives with the son, David Orr, of Clinton, and the daughters, Alice Conley and Elva Orr, of Onslow, and Elsie Callihan, of Chillicothe, O., all of whom were with him at the time of his death. He is also survived by six grand children.
