She had been sick about six weeks, dur
ing the last four of which she was prac-

intense, but the end came at daybreak on

1t was supposed by everyone that she
was rapidly recovering, but the eX-
tremely warm weather of Friday seems
TO have proStrated her, and her long sick
ness and fasting had left her too weak to
contend with new difficulties.
The Governor was at Sissons for the
purpose of arranging for summer home
for the family in the mountains, when

look place, and although superintendent
Wright brought him through on special,
he arrived just too late to see his child
alive.

The stricken one, and had nursed her for
so long, both day and night, that her
friends are very anxious tor her health.
Her quiet force and wonderful bravery,
coupled with the touching sweetness OF
ing every one throughout the trying
ordeal.
The many floral offerings of friends
were very Sweetly arranged about the
child, and yesterday Sunday morning,
after a simple but impressive word OF
prayer by the Rev. j. B. Silcox, the re-
mains were taken to Pasadena for burial,
the entire family accompanying them III
q private car attached to the Los Angeles
express.
The funeral will be held this afternoon
at 2;30 o'clock from Governor Markham S

sincere thanks for the very many acts OF
kindness of which they have been the
recipients during the sickness Of their
daughter Genevieve, and they desire to
express their high appreciation of the
warm sympathy extended to them by
everyone in their great bereavement.
Strangers, comparatively speaking, in
the city, they appreciate the more highly
the kindness and tenderness OF feeling
shown them, and while they turn with
longing eyes and aching hearts to home
and absent friends, they realize that
nothing can surpass the thoughtful at
tention and loving sympathy expert
enced here.
