A Sad Death

The little six month old babe of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hyskell died Sunday morning under peculiarly sad circumstances. It had been ill for several days with the prevailing throat disease which is causing the physicians much trouble, but was getting better, and was pronounced out of danger.

Mr. and Mrs. Hyskell had retired and about 3 o’clock Mrs. Hyskell was awakened by one of the larger children who was also sick. She got up to attend to him and to her horror discovered that the baby by her side was dead. It had evidently died but a few minutes before Mrs. Kyskell was awakened.

The funeral occurred Monday afternoon.
