DEATH CLAIMS LITTLE GIRL

Pearl Rucker Died at the Home of Her Parents in This City Thursday Afternoon.

The death of Pearl Rucker, little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B.T. Rucker, 1006 Chatterton street, this city, took place at her home Thursday afternoon. She was born Dec. 22, 1916.

This morning the parents took the body to Ladora, the former home of the family, for interment. The services at the grave took place at 2 p.m. It is a remarkable coincidence that the grandmother of the little girl, Mrs. Taylor, recently died at Ladora, and that they were both buried at the same hour.
