Obituary

RISLEY.

In the springtime of life when the rosy lips of youth just begin to sip the sweets of life here below, and when love, pure and true seems to shine in every word and notion, Della R., daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.P. Risley, looked for the last time upon this world, so dear to one, and yest so cruel, yesterday morning at 6:30 o'clock.

Child Della, aged 13 years, 11 months and 21 days, had been sick with pericarditis about two weeks, but all was done by loving hearts and science that could be done to stay the hand of death.

The funeral will be held from the family residence at 1023 Charlotte street, this afternoon at 2 o'clock. The interment will be in Oakdale and will be private.
