Died – Mr. and Mrs. Koop, living northeast of Hull mourn the loss of their daughter Alvina, a young girl just in her teens, whose death occurred Monday. The daughter had not been ill long. The funeral occurred yesterday from the Lutheran church yard adjoining.

She was a lovable child and by her kindly disposition had endeared herself to many friends. He loss will thus be more keenly felt by the parents and friends of the family. Several brothers and sisters are left to mourn with the heart broken parents over the death of their sister. The sympathy of the entire community northeast of town and the friends of the family everywhere goes out to the bereaved family.
