Grandma Bailey reached her 93rd milestone last Saturday, March
15th. Her children knowing how much she prizes the "Bright
Spots" in life, endeavored to make this event enjoyable. The
roads were high impassable for the deep mud, but pluck overcomes
obstacles. The Furgusons pulled through from Larrabee. Ben
McCulla's and Lawrence Flinders' from Cherokee county. The dinner
was charmingly laid at her son, Asa's home. The birthday cake, a
pyramid with the lighted candles, sent a glow of happiness around
the circle that repaid the work and effort of preparation and
also the travel. A mother's love endures all trials. All honor to
our mothers.

Infant Dies Suddenly
[a fold in the newspaper obscures some of the text, frustratingly
so]
The infant son of Mr. and Mrs. [initial is either B. or R. and
the last name has seven letters] died suddenly Wednesday morning.
The little fellow hadn't been sick and it is thought that he must
have swallowed something which caused his death. Short funeral
services were conducted from the home this afternoon at 2:00 p.m.
and burial was made in Waterman cemetery. The sympathy of the
community is extended to the grief stricken parents.
