SEVEN-YEAR-OLD
GIRL DIES FROM
HEART FAILURE

Marian, 7-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Aubrey Reed, died from heart disease at 11 o'clock Wednesday forenoon. While she had suffered from the disease the past three years, Marian had been much improved recently. On the morning of her death she had accompanied her mother out doors, and had seemed unusually active and happy. She suddenly fell and died instantly.

Marian was born in Osage and lived here most of her life. She had not entered school because of her disability. Surviving are her parents; her brother, Kenneth; and a sister, Wilma.
