At 12 o'clock last night Willie H., only surviving child of O.A. and Emma M. Moore, died after an illness of ten days, during which time he suffered excruciatingly. Willie was seven months old yesterday. He was a bright, winsome, lovable child, upon whom every hope and ambition of the fond parents had centered. They had four other children go into the grave, but they earnestly hoped that Willie, their last-born, might be spared them. An over-ruling Providence willed it otherwise, and the stricken parents can only bow in humble submission, feeling confident, in the midst of their grief, that "He doeth all things for the best." The funeral will take place from the residence of the parents this afternoon at 3 o'clock.
