September 13, 1883

DIED:

HAMILTON -- At the residence of her parents, JOSEPH and LUCY A. HAMILTON, in
Leon, Friday evening, Sept. 14th, FANNY, aged sixteen years, six months and
twelve days.

She was sick not more than one week, her disease being typhoid fever and
hemorrhage of the bowels, causing death so soon.

FANNY was the very picture of health and strength, was a favorite in the
school room, in her Sunday School class, with her friends, at home and
abroad, seeking always to please and make it pleasant for all those around
her. To those with whom she associated, her death causes extreme grief and
sorrow.

The family has hosts of friends who mourn the loss of their daughter and
sister and the Journal family extends their heartfelt sympathy.

The funeral was held at the house, a large number of friends being present,
Rev. Edwards officiating. Eighteen of her lady associates lead the
procession from the house to the grave.

The pall bearers were: Frank Thompson, James Robb, Jesse Nott, Chas. Hurst,
Albert Long and Clyde Warner.
