IN MEMORIUM.--Mildred Lee Bricker, aged nine months, after a brief illness, passed away Friday evening, January 20, at the home of her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank McLain. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon and was largely attended by relatives and friends, Revs. Shrader and Innes conduction the services. Joseph M. Bricker, the father, is absent in the Klondike. Little Mildred was only a few days old when he left, and no word has been received from him for some months and one can reach him for months to come. This fact added sorrow to the very sad demise of the little one. Mrs. Bricker seems to bear the great bereavement with Christian resignation and is assured of the warmest sympathy of a large circle of friends. Her heart responds to all the touching tributes of love rendered her in these hours of trial.
