Mr. and Mrs. Joe Reeder, who reside near Rossville, were called upon to part with their little daughter, Florence, whose death occurred at the local hospital Saturday night.

She had had a severe siege of whooping cough, followed by an attack of peritonitis, and was brought to the hospital in hopes that surgical attention would save her life. The operation was performed Thursday, and everything was done that was possible, but to no avail. Deceased was born February 13, 1906.

Services were held at the home Christmas afternoon, and burial took place from the Mt. Hope church in Union City township today.

This is the first death that has occurred in the hospital in over a year.
