We are sorry to record the death of the bright little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Rogan. Her death occurred last Thursday evening after a short illness. She was a bright, loving, little girl ten years of age, whom all were delighted to know. Funeral services were held at the M.E. church, Saturday p.m., conducted by Rev. Proudfit. Being a pupil in the grammar room of our schools, the scholars of that room attended in a body to do honor to their little classmate. The parents have the sympathy of the entire community in their bereavement.
