Funeral services for little Georgina Sype, age two years, who died Monday at Iowa Sanitarium, after an illness at the home of her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Hunt, on Second street, were held this afternoon at the Seventhday Adventist church, with Dr. John Morse in charge. Interment was in the Nevada cemetery.

The child was aged two years, nine months and fourteen days and was the younger child of Mr. and Mrs. Sype.

The father of the child, Mr. Sype is on the island of Jamaica in missionary work and the mother, with her babes has been in Nevada for some time, at the home of her parents, having come here a few months ago from Bellingham, Washington. She had planned on joining her husband in his work on the island but had been detained by the illness of Georgina.

Rev. Minnie Sype of Chicago, grandmother of the children arrived Monday evening to be present at the funeral services.
