MRS. NELLIE HILL DIED THIS MORNING

Mrs. Nellie HILL passed away this morning at 4:30 o'clock at the Jefferson County Hospital where she had been taken last Tuesday, suffering from an attack of pneumonia.

The death of Mrs. HILL is particularly sad from the fact that she leaves three children, a daughter ter Esther sixteen years old (sic), a son Hubert six years old and a daughter Mabel four years old. Mr. HILL preceeded (sic) her in death several years ago.

SEEK HOME FOR ORPHAN CHILDREN

Who has a place in their home for a little boy of six or a little girl of four, or both?

There are doubtless many in Jefferson county who have considered the thought of giving a home to some little one who is homeless and now the opportunity presents itself, forcibly.

Little Mabel and Hubert HILL are left by the death of their mother with no one to care for them but the county and state. Unless a home can be found for them here they must be taken to the Orphan's Home at Des Moines.

Little saddened hearts of four and six need more sympathy and love than can possibly be theirs in any institution. Isn't there a home and happiness for them somewhere in Jefferson county?

Any one who is interested in seeing these children with a view to adoption, may call on Mrs. Marshall Chilcott, overseer of the city poor.
