Death Claims Beautiful Child.

Wallace Edward Sandford was born December 5, 1899, and died February 25, 1901, aged one year, two months and twenty days. He was the younger child of Charles E. and Mary E. Sanford, and was an unusually bright child, whose untimely departure is a sad blow to the parents and their many friends.

The funeral services occurred at the home of the child's grandfather, W. E. Smith, yesterday at 10 o'clock, conducted by Rev. J. L. Ayrault, after which burial took place in the Bonaparte cemetery.
