Bessie Moore Thomas, youngest daugh
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. E. II. Thomas, died
at about | o'clock on Wednesday after
noon, the direct cause of death being
peri; onitis. For several weeks past she
had suffered from an attack of fever and
her life at times had been despaired of
but she made brave fight, and last week
appeared to have won the battle. Late
in the week, however, peritonits devel-
oped and at time when the prospect of
her recovery was brightest she suddenly
began sinking rapidly. The consultation
of doctors which at once was called
agreed on the hopelessness of the case;
but still the brave girl declared she
would get well. In spite of the extreme
lowness of vitality in which fever had
left her, her strong will and determna-
ton carried her beyond expectation until
Wednesday at midday, when the end
came. She was conscious at the close
and aware that she must give up the
unequal struggle. She had a host of
friends who watched with the great
est of interest her brave fight with
Death, and rejoced and were depressed
at the varying reports from the sick
room. She deserved to have won, and
the announcement of the end caused the
deepest regret. The funeral will take
place this morning at / o'clock from the
residence near south Court street, and
! the interment will be in the West ceme-
/ terv. Obituary notice later.
