MYSTERY AILMENT RESULTS IN DEATH OF MANCHESTER GIRL
Manchester, Ia., Jan. 31 -- Special: Dorothy Ann Dunham, oldest daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Francis B. Dunham, died at her home here about 10 o'clock
Tuesday morning. Both Mr. and Mrs. Dunham and the other two children have
been sick and for several weeks, one after the other has been taken down,
but all grew better except the oldest girl whose trouble could not be
relieved although medical experts were brought from a distance in the effort
to bring relief. For several days her condition has seemed hopeless and the
community has sympathized with the young parents who have tried in vain to
keep the little one with them. Dorothy Ann was born April 8, 1915, and in
her short life had already made many friends and gave promise of a beautiful
life, whose sudden cutting off cannot be understood, now.
