Death of Edith Buchanan.

Edith Buchanan, aged II years and Ie
days, died in this city last Sabbath night
from the effects of "a very severe attack
of measles. She was the daughter of oul
worthy County Commissioner, John
Buchanan, aud here, with her sister and
brother, was attending College.
A quiet and charming young lady, very
precious to the hearts of father, mother,
brothers and sisters, and beloved by all
who knew her. She was faithful stu
dent, respected aud admired by her CON-
panions and associates
Suddenly her life went out in the very
midst of much promise of future useful
ness, and the hearts and home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Buchanan are filled with bitter sor-
SOW, and the dear family circle is broken
by the cruel hand of death.
The funeral, conducted by DIR. Tieml
sQn, occurred eli Tuesday morning frem
the fReail$ residence ten miles south of
town.
A large slAriber of sorrowing and sym
