January 3, 1895

A thirteen year old daughter of Charles RAY died at the home of her grand father, Mr. HINKLEY, New Year's day, and was buried near there yesterday. She was playing on some hay about a week ago with some companions, and began suffering from a pain in her side. She continued to grow worse, inflammation of the bowels set in, and from this she died.
