DEATH OF SCHOOL GIRL

WHOLE FAMILY IS SICK WITH THE INFLUENZA

Marcella Margaret, the twelve year old daughter, of Mr. and Mrs. John
Dominic, residing on Howard street, died on Friday night, following a ten
days illness from influenza. Nine of the family were suffering from the
malady, but the other children's health is now improving although several
are still confined to bed.

Marcella Margaret was born on a farm near Garretson, S.D., on July 16, 1907.
She came with her parents to LeMars two years ago. She was attending the
Franklin school when she was taken sick and was a general favorite among her
classmates and associates.

Her early death is mourned by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Dominic, three
sisters, Mrs. Jack Shearon, Dorothy, Rosella, and five brothers, Leo,
Walter, Joseph, Clifford and Clarence.

The funeral services were held on Sunday afternoon at St. James church, Rev.
Father E. O'Farrell officiating.
