It is painfully sad to report the death Of
little Archie, the 9-year-old son OF A. p.
Skinner, whose death occurred last Sum-
day morning, His death was not wholly
unlocked for or unexpected as his life had
been hanging 10 the balance for four days
previous to his death. The report OF his
condition Saturday, that he was more
encouraged the hope that he
might yet be spared to his parents. He
had never been strong and rugged physi
cally and had been tenderly watched and
cared for since his birth, but mentally he
was strong, bright and intelligent for his
years. 1t is indeed a heavy affection to
his father and mother AS they were de.
votedly attached to shim and to part
seemed almost unbearable. They have the
OF the community in this their
heavy affection. His funeral was held at
The house last Wednesday, Rev. H. NJ God
dard, assisted by Rev. E. W. Sharpe, con-
Quoting the services.
