Duraut, a Missouri Pacific conductor, who was found dead in her home by her daughter last Wednesday evening, was buried in the Olathe cemetery Friday, the funeral services being conducted from the home on South Kansas avenue by Rev. Bentley of the Christian church. The Durant family came to Olathe from Argentine after the flood, and one of the daughters, a mute, is in the D. and D. institution. Mrs Durant had not been well for some days, though not confined to the house. In the afternoon her oldest daughter, after returning home from school, had gone up town on an errand and upon returning found her mother dead upon the sofa. Heart trouble was the cause of her death
