Many of us will miss the earnest, BEAM
ing councnance Of little Stuart Prime who
died Tuesday morning of that dread dis
case, scarlet fever, after an illness OF only
30 hours. All that could be done both by
loving parents and grandparents, all that
the best medical skill could do, was of no
avail; the little sufferer gradually grow
weaker uutil about two o'clock Tuesday
morning, when the struggle ended, and his
spirit joined those of two little brothers
gone before to that heavenly home where
pain and sorrow cannot enter. Stuart was
an uncommonly bright and intelligent boy,
his loss will be sorely and sadly felt by his
father and mother who are again so sud-
denly called to mourn. The kindness OF
friends and ucighbors, and the unicmittipg
care of Dr. Woodward their family ply
sioian, will ever be greatfully remembered
by the afflicted family.
