Sad Death of Baby girl
Mr. and Mrs. Herbert J. Osterday are again bowed in grief over the loss of their baby daughter, Helen Ardath, who passed away Sunday form diphtheria, just two weeks following the death of their small son from the dread malady. Helen Ardath was born in this city Sept 12, 1917 and died at the tender age of 1 year and 8months and 13 days. She was ever a joy to her parents and her death so sad after the loss of their son makes their burden seem almost too great to bear. The little form was laid to rest Monday afternoon in Grace Hill cemetery.

Rev. Jas. J. Davis, pastor of the M. E. church, spoke such words of comfort as he could at the cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. Osterday surely have the
sympathy of all in their affliction
