DIED - On Thursday Feb. 11, 1886, at the family residence, 1470 Locust street, of scarlet fever, Marion M., second son of George and Bertha Gray, aged 2 years and 7 months. Funeral at 10:30 this Friday a.m. (Private).

--

Death has entered the home of Mr. Geo Gray, the merchant tailor and removed from the family circle little Marion the second son and a dearly beloved child. A few days ago he was stricken with scarlet fever and despite the tender care and the best of medical skill, the death angel came and removed to the heavenly realm a bright and beautiful child.

Marion M. was two years and seven months old. For one of his years he was a noble boy and fondly did the parents and all those who knew him cherish the hope that he might live to reach man's estate. But He who doeth all things well has plucked a tender flower to blossom and bloom in eternal paradise. The sympathies of all the friends of the family are bestowed during their deep bereavement.
