After a long and severe illness Mary Dillon, the 10 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. Dillon, died at their home Saturday afternoon at one o'clock. For about nine years Mary has been a sufferer from rheumatism of the heart. She has been a patient little sufferer through her many and severe attacks and has never been heard to complain. Her last illness was an especially long and severe one and her frail body was unable to endure the suffering which was inevitable. Mary was of a very lovable disposition and during her short life made many friends who will mourn her untimely death, and many will miss the happy smiling face of little Mary.

The funeral was held at the Congregational Church today at 2 o'clock. Rev. Dr. Hunter conducted the service.
