OF Sucli is the Kingdom Of Heaven.

Three families are mourning this
week the loss of little loved ones, and
fondest hopes that parents had once
centered in youthful innocence have
been torn away by the unceasing cycle
Of death.
On the 9th day of May, ''WilHe" the
bright little three year old son of NJ
and Mrs. Geo. Pratt breathed bis last
at the home in Nekoosa after an illness
of about one week with diphtheria.
The funeral occurred at Nekoosa on
Sunday, Rev. McClelland conducting
the services. Mr.. NJ. A. Bogoger.
undertaken of this city, had charge of
the remains.
In the home Of Mr.. Joseph Robinson
at Bearss little chair is vacant now.
and It's former occupant has risen to its
place among the angels. amanda"
was nearing her third birthday, a
promising little girl that was world
unto that family, whom cessation of life
came. She died Sunday May 10th of
Group and was buried May 18th at
baskerville, Rev. Hill having charge of
funeral ceremonies.
Mamie Walsh, invalid daughter of
Mr.. James Walsh in this city, died
Tuesday May 18th with complication
of troubles. This child was % years
old, but she has never been able to
speak word, never walked or had the
use Of hands CT arms since birth. A
meek submissive, helpless one, such an
existence was worse than death
Surely the hand of our omnipotent
Saviour was evident in all its gracious
ness when he called the innocent
sufferer Home. Funeral services were
conducted Wednesday in the Catholic
Church, Rev. Chas. Beyerle, officiating.
