 In life we are in death. It is with sorrow that again so soon we are com pelled to write of another death. Only 8 few weeks ago we attended the funeral of Robert Stack and three weeks ago that of Corneia Crissey. Now we re- cord the death of Lotta, youngest daughter of MT Egbert Butler, which occurred at 2 o'clock Wednesday after noon. It is only few days that she has been complaining of a cold; on Sat- urday she was out riding and not until the morning of her death was she con- sidered dangerously sick. She was only 15 years old and to know her was to like her. She was the light and joy of her home. Heaven is the richer by one more flower and earth is the poorer. She was member of Mrs Gaylord s Sunday school class and is now the sec- ond who has been taken from it in three weeks. When her death was known throughout the town, it was received with sorrow and was shock to many. Coming so soon after the death of two other young people, it causes sorrow to every heart and sympathy for the be. r Q d family. Two families most a. suredly have been tried to the full ex. tent MT Buffers home has been visited four times in seven years and that of MI Cr1ssey three times in Is months. Out of these seven deaths, three were young people. The funeral was attended al the house, Saturday afternoon at o'clock Rev MT Gleason officiated and spoke briefly from the text, ''She is moi lead but sleepeth. A large number gathered to show their regard and pay their last respects to the memory of the departed. The pail bearers were choser from young men with whom she was well acquainted and had been to school These three funerals within few weeks two of them inside of three weeks ant one only little longer, have been O those between 15 and IT years of age.
