DEATH INVADES HOME
Baby Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Farrell Dies
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Farrell, of North Commercial Avenue is mourning the loss of their bright little baby daughter, Mildred Katharine, who was ushered into the the presence of the angels Friday morning at about nine o'clock. The little one had been suffering from an attack of the grip but a very few days scarce more than two weeks before the time of her death. Thursday she brightened and the loving, watchers thought that she would recover. Friday morning the disease took a turn for the worse and the little baby fingers could no more entwine themselves about the hands of those who loved her.

A short funeral service was held at the home Sunday afternoon, by Rev. Fr. O'Brien and the remains were taken to Gethsemane cemetery where they were laid to rest. A large number of the friends of the family were present and accompanied the remains to their last resting place. Many beautiful floral tributes sent by loving and sympathizing friends gave their sweet testimony of sympathy for the bereaved and for the loss of the life that had just started upon its journey.

Mildred Katharine Farrell was born on November 14, 1905, and died on Friday, March 22, 1907. The grief stricken family have the sympathy of all in the sad loss of their dear one.
