Bard, July 19- Last Saturday evening the white winged angel of death entered the home of William Hank and took there from the only child, Clifford, aged almost 2 years. The boy had been a patient sufferer for over a week and all that loving hands could do was done for his relief, but as he had been a delicate child all his life, that dread disease was too powerful. He was a sweet and beautiful little child and the hears are lonely and the home sad from whence he has gone. His little body was laid to rest at the Harrison cemetery over the river. We failed to get the full particulars, but learned the funeral sermon was preached at the home of the parents.
