Alfred and Goldie Waddell are mourning the loss of their little daughter Ione, who died Monday at 12 o'clock, of membranous croup, aged 2 years, 2 months and 21 days. Little Ione was the idol of their home and was sick only two days when she was called away. Her remains were laid away Tuesday afternoon in the Waddell cemetery near Springfield. The parents have the sympathy of the entire neighborhood in their sad bereavement (Oskaloosa Herald, Dec. 14, 1905, p. 4)
