LEILA F. DAWSON

Leila Fern DAWSON, daughter of Mrs. James C. JESSEN, was born February 17, 1907, and died December 2, 1920 (sic) aged thirteen years, nine months and fifteen days.

Leila leaves one brother and a number of relatives and a host of friends to mourn her early departure, and all will miss her greatly for she was loved by all who knew her.

The funeral services were conducted by Rev. H. C. Duckett of Fairfield and she was laid to rest in the beautiful Evergreen cemetery on Sunday at high noon, December 4, 1920. The presence of many good friends and neighbors spoke of the high esteem in which she was held. Miss Clara Duckett rendered the beautiful solo "Asleep in Jesus."
