MERRILL:
Miss Clara Arendt, the youngest child of Peter Arendt, died at the
family residence on Douglas street at about one o'clock Monday morning.
Her death was caused by dropsy of the chest which illness attacked her
some seven months ago. Everything the medical profession could do was
done to save the life of the little one. Clara died at the age of 5
years, 7 months and 13 days. She was the pet of all the young people of
the neighborhood and her death caused a cloud of sorrow to rest over the
hearts of many. The funeral services were held in the Catholic church.
The following were the pall bearers: Lida Harker, Hattie Swan, Ettie
Tooker and Eva Frost.
