Rev. and Mrs. E. H. Gilman living eight miles south of Rock Valley mourn the death of their three-year-old daughter, Esther, who died Sunday, her death being due to scarlet fever. Funeral services were held Monday but owing to the nature of the disease no one could be present but the immediate family and those who had charge of the burial. The remains were buried in the German Lutheran cemetery near the church of which Rev. Gilman is pastor. Four brothers and sisters of the deceased acted as pall bearers and carried the slight form to its last resting place. One of the other children has had the disease and recovered. Rev. and Mrs. Gilman have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire neighborhood where they live.
