After an illness of six weeks she died at their home east of Farmersburg, Friday, Oct. 23rd, aged 2 years, 8 months and 28 days. She leaves a father and mother, three sisters, Alma E., Grace I., and Myrtle H., and two brothers, Gilbert A., and G. Arthur, to mourn the loss of a loving little daughter and sister. The funeral was conducted from the M.E. church in Farmersburg by Rev. W. N.
