Obituary for Janet Elsensohn
**Hanwritten: 1920

Janet Eileen Elsensohn, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Elsensohn, was born April 18, 1915, and died Feb. 17, 1920, aged 4 years, 9 months and 29 days. Her death was caused by influenza followed by pneumonia. She was an invalid all her life, and because of her affliction she had become very dear to her parents. Her care was never a burden to them but rather more of a regret that they could not do more for her. She leaves to mourn for her, her parents, and two sisters, one brother having preceded her in death, and three grandparents, Edward Elsensohn and wife and Mrs. Jane Roush.

Funeral services were held at the home at 2 o'clock Thursday, Feb. 19, 1920, conducted by Rev. Chas. L. Ellis of Douds. The remains were buried in the cemetery near Leando.
