METZ -- Betty Lou Matheny, 2 1/2 year old child of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Matheny of Metz, died Sunday at 8:20 a.m. following a brief illness of purpura hemorrhagica. The disease is characterized by an effusion of the blood into surrounding tissues from its proper vessels.

Funeral services were conducted from the Metz church Tuesday at 2 p.m. and interment was in the Sugar Grove cemetery at Metz.

The child, born Feb. 28, 1934, had been ill only a short time before her death, her condition becoming serious Saturday night. The mother was Thelma Engle before her marriage.

Surviving relatives include the parents; the maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Engle and a maternal great grandfather, Andrew Engle, of near Metz and her paternal grandfather and great grandfather, Elijah Matheny and Theodore Matheny both of Newton.

She is also survived by two aunts, Lucy Engle and Mrs. Glen Temple of Newton, and five uncles, Fed Engle, jr., Gail Engle, Fred Matheny, Darrell Matheny and Normie Lee Matheny. ~ Jasper County Record, October 29, 1936, page 6, column 2.
