GRANVILLE GLEANINGS.

Among those who attended the funeral of little Ethel Ricker at Marcus,
besides the near relatives, were Mr. and Mrs. F. Domnisse, Messrs. Mat
Kellen, H. C. Graff and Theo. Durrenberger.

Ethel, the bright little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. Ricker, died Friday of
Whooping cough, aged two years and eight months. Everything possible was
done to save the precious life, but medical skill could not stay the cruel
hand of death, and as the angels bore her soul heavenward, the formerly
happy home was shrouded in sorrow. The remains were laid to rest in the
Catholic cemetery at Marcus, Sunday, followed by many friends. All
sympathize with the parents in their hour of sorrow.
