Columbus City, April 12 - On Friday, April 7, death entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Schabillion and bore to that bright home above their little daughter, Esther, who was not quite 12 years old. She was afflicted for a while last winter with dropsy of the heart bur recovered. The disease returned this winter with renewed energy, and although a great sufferer for several months, she bore her lot with such sweet patience that she daily became dearer to her many friends, who did all in their power to ease her painful illness. Though little Esther is no more, the parents, brothers and sister may console themselves with the thought that she is one of the angelic host gathered around the great while throne in the land where pain and sorrow are no more.
