LITTLE GIRL PASSES AWAY AFTER SEIGE OF TYPHOID FEVER

Little Miss Edna Peterson succumbed to the ravages to typhoid fever at 3:30 Tuesday morning after making a good fight against the disease. She had been ill for nearly three weeks and all that human effort and medical aid could do was of no avail.

Deceased was a daughter of Mrs. P.T. Angstrom (Emma Matilda Costenson) and was born south of Stratford on April 15, 1909. Her father, Lewis Peterson, passed away several years ago. Practically her entire life has been spent in this community. She was a bright and winsome little lady and was highly respected and beloved by everyone, all of whom are saddened by her passing. She was 11 years, 1 month and 13 days old on the day of her death.

Funeral services will be held this afternoon from the home at 1:30 and from the M.E. church at 2 o'clock and will be in charge of Rev. H.I. Pharo.
