Obituary

Edna Pearl, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Pratt, was born June 29, 1899, departed this life January 3, 1915, age fifteen years six months and five days. Her health began to fail soon after the death of her sister, who passed away March 9, 1914, and it was thought a change of climate would be beneficial. She went West with her parents, encouraged by the hope that health would be restored. Reaching their destination, some of her former strength returned, but after a short time she grew steadily weaker. After spending a few months in the west and obtaining no relief, they returned home, in November, where she passed away.

Edna was loving, kind and obedient, and the good training her parents gave her crowned her intellect with judgment and fixed moral principles. Edna will be greatly missed in the home by the father and mother, one brother and two sisters, Orville, Helen, and Mrs. Davisson Bertholf, of Muncie, Ind., and other relatives and friends are left to mourn her death.

Funeral service was held at the home, conducted by Rev. L. F. Davis. Interment in Rock City cemetery.
