The grim death reaper entered the home of MR.
and MRS. KETCHAM Tuesday
morning, and gathered in his harvest the
spirit of their darling little
AILEEN. Although the little one had only
tarried with them since last
December, she had endeared herself not only
to the fond parents, but to
all the family acquaintances, but like a
beautiful summer flower she
faded and passed away to make a shining star
in the Kingdom above.

The funeral services were held at the family
residence yesterday
afternoon at four o'clock, conducted by Rev.
Geo. M. Hughes, Pastor of
the M.E. Church. Four little girls dressed
in spotless white, acted as
pall bearers, and bore the tiny white casket
to the grave which was
lined with cotton and covered with flowers.
It is a terrible blow to
MR. and MRS. KETCHAM, and in their
affliction, they have the sympathy of
everyone.
