Again the reaper, death, has visited our midst and garnered for its master a bright and shining flower. Little Frankie, the two year old son of W. J. and Carrie Geisinger, was laid low in death Tuesday evening by that dread disease, diphtheria. While we will all miss little Frankie and regret his untimely death, yet we have the consolation of knowing that he has gone in his innocence and purity to dwell with him who said, "Suffer little children to come unto me for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The bereaved parents have the heartfelt, sympathy in this their saddest affliction.
