Murilla Stanton, twenty-one year old daughter of Mr. and .Mrs. William Stanton, passed away Saturday morning at 12:30 a. m. Death came following an illness of only a short duration. An infection which medical science knows of no way to arrest was the immediate cause of her demise. The news of the expiration of this popular and charming young girl was a frightful shock to her many friends and acquaintances who sympathize beyond expression with her bereaved family, prostrated by the grim spectre of death which so suddenly stalked their home. The quick and sudden passing of one whose life was in the bloom makes earthly existence seem so futile, and the only consolation left to realize is that there is a Hand more mighty, all-seeing and just, who moves swiftly in bringing about the destiny of man and His chosen children.

Murilla Catherine Stanton was born on the family homestead at Garryowen October 28, 1910. She was a graduate of St. Patricks school and had lived at home since that time.
