Elvera Luclie, the little daughter who came as a bit of sunshine on November 6, 1917, to gladden the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Brundeen, southeast of town, was taken sick Wednesday, December 4, with influenza, which soon developed into pneumonia, and this the little life could not withstand. She passed away December 12, 1918, aged 1 year, 1 month and 6 days. She lived one short, happy year and her happy, bright ways made all who knew her love her dearly.

Left to mourn her untimely taking away are her bereaved parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Brundeen, and her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Sol. Erickson, who had been at the little one's bedside constantly administering loving care. The sympathy of many friends goes out to these sorrowing ones.

Interment was made Friday afternoon in Riverside cemetery, where a brief service was conducted by Rev. M. E.Spahr, of the Akron M. E. church.
