February, 1885 --- June 17, 1888

Again has death entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Dinnie, on Eighth street, leaving sadness and gloom in its wake. Little "Dollie," aged 3 years and 4 months, was the fair victim this time, to that cruel, relentless disease, diphtheria. The child was sick several days but not dangerously so until Wednesday of last week, when hemorrhage of the nose ensued while the treacherous membrane at once extended down the throat, causing death Sunday night. "Dolly" was a curly-haired, winning little lady, with a face wreathed with smiles of happy childhood, and her loss is a terrible blow to the fond parents. Burial services occurred at Rose Hill Cemetery.
