Died, OH Thursday, November 4, the
little daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Miller, aged 2 years and 2momLhs. On
April Both the child drank concentraL-
ed lye For about six weeks the little
sufferer took food and nourishmemt
During the last three weeks it neither
ate nor drank and the little form
wasted away until life ebbed out its
earthly existence and the spirit took
its flight to that better land where
pam aud suffering are unknown. Tru
ly it is sad that the chord of love
binding the parent and child must
thus be severed and yet it would seem
in this case that death came as re
lief to the little sufferer. Four little
girls were fittingly chosen as pail bear
ers and on Friday forenoon the re-
mains were borne to the Melville Cen
ter church where the funeral services
were conducted by Rev. Krell, after
which they We're borne to their final
resting place in the cemetery three
quarters of mile north of he church.
We extend our heartfelt sympathy to
the bereaved parents in this their hour
of deepest sorrow.
