The home of Frank Lowel and wife is shrouded in gloom and their hearts bowed down with a grief too deep for utterance over the sudden death of Lela, their five-year-old daughter, who passed away yesterday afternoon, after an illness of less than ten hours, a victim of croup. In the morning she was apparently well, played about the floor with her toys and even assisted her mother to the best of her infantile ability, in washing the dishes, but the destroying malady was all too swift, and sadness reigns where happiness always dwelt before. The funeral was from the residence this afternoon at 4:30 and the little form was laid to rest at Oak Hill
