The friends of Charles and Magdaline Ries will learn with regret of the death of their daughter Minnie, who died yesterday afternoon. She had nearly reached her seventeenth year and is called away just as she was ready to enter the portals of womanhood. The loss of a child is a painful trial to parents, but the affliction must be increased many times when that child has arrived at the years almost of womanhood. Such a trial is hard to bear and in it the suffering parents and sorrowing friends have the sympathy of all.
