The family of Mrs. D.A. Mahoney is again shrouded in deep grief over the loss of the youngest daughter, Mary Frances, aged 8 years and 28 days. She died at 11 o'clock Wednesday night.

The loss of this darling child is a severe blow to the heart-broken widow and the remaining members of the family. Frances was a sweet child, and gave promise of being a useful member of society, as she possessed those noble traits of character which adorn the true woman.

The friends tender words of consolation and bestow their sincere sympathy to the afflicted ones. The funeral will occur this morning at 7:45 o'clock. There will be services at St. Patrick's church, and interment will be in the Garryowen cemetery.
