Catnip Ridge, October 17- Mr. and Mrs. John Dyche of Oakland mourn the loss of their only daughter, little Nellie, a few days past 5 years of age. She closed her eyes in death Saturday morning at 4 o'clock after weeks sickness. Little Nellie had the scarlet rash about four weeks ago and got through that nicely. He parents, thinking her well and out of danger, took her out riding and allowed her in the yard to play; but somehow the little one took cold, which caused a relapse. Nellie was a sweet child and will be greatly missed in the home she has left lonely. She was a pet among four brothers and a comfort to her papa and mamma. The funeral was held at the catholic church in Washington. Mr. and Mrs. Dyche have the greatest sympathy of this neighborhood.
