Six Months Old Child Died Very Sud.

From Mondays Daily.
Willie, the six-months' old child of
Mr.. and Mrs. William Farrell, colored
people living at 308 South College
street, was found dead in bed yester-
day morning, having expired some
time in the night or early morning,
while the parents were sleeping. The
child had been ailing for several days,
but his illness was not thought to be
serious. The family retired as usual
Saturday night, and as the child made
no noise the parents had no reason to
believe he had grown worse. However,
on arising in the morning, they found
him dead.
Coroner c. C. Powell was called, but
after viewing the corpse, he decided
that there was no need of an inquest,
giving it as his opinion that the child
died from congestion of the lungs.
The funeral services were held this
afternoon at 2 o'clock, from the resi-
dence of the family, and they were in
charge of Rev. Jones, pastor of the
Second Baptist church. Interment in
Ottumwa cemetery.
