DEATH OF BONNIE KELLY;.

A Very Lovable Young Girl has Passed to the
Great Beyond.

The many Plymouth county friends
of John C. Kelly editor of the Sioux
City Tribune will be pained to learn
that death has again entered into his
household and removed there from his
eldest daughter, Bonnie, at the age : of
fifteen years. The Sioux City Journal,
in speaking of the death says:
Miss Bonnie Kelly, the 15-year-old
daughter of John C. Kelly, editor of
the Sioux City Tribune, died at the
home of her father at 2:30 yesterday
afternoon, For some time it has been
known that the young girl has been in
very poor health and her father sent
her east to experts to discover if her
malady could not be cured. She has
been at home for some time and it was
thought that she was rapidly improving,
but about two days ago she went
to town and upon her return was taken
suddenly ill. Since then she has been
almost at death's door, and yesterday
morning it was known that she would
not live. The end came at 2:30 yesterday
afternoon.
Bonnie Kelly was one of those lovable
girls who are the favorites of everyone
who knows them, She was always
happy; always fond of helping
others, and was loved by her brothers,
sisters and playmates, who are brokenhearted
over her death. The stricken
father will have the most cordial sympathy
in this bereavement.
