Little Bessie Pence daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Pence died very suddenly last week.

Bessie was about two years old and a very bright pretty child. Only a few months ago they lost a son which makes the present affliction doubly hard to bear.

The entire community sympathizes with them in their sorrow. The remains were interred in the Rock Branch Cemetery. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Heilman.
