Sad indeed is the death of Arthur Scott
which occurred Saturday afternoon after
short illness with scarlet fever. He had
worn himself out caring for his brother
Ernest, who Is i'll with the same disease,
and readily succumbed to the malady that
brings grief to so many homes, and would
seem to be unrelenting here. Arthur was
boy of bright, sunny disposition, and won
hosts of friends by his genial manner. The
youngest of four children his smiling face
full of joy and sunshine will be missed
more than tongue or pen can tell In the
school, among his acquaintance and in the
now sad home, Arthur will be remembered
with tenderness born only Of true friend
ship and loyalty To the mott or and the
three remaining brothers we can only ex-
tend our heartfelt sympathy in this hour of
affllction. 1t is unnecessary to say the
whole community feels keenly the grief of
the family. Deceased was eighteen years
old and had always lived at home The
burial occurred Sunday and was private.
Arrangements will be made for the funeral
services which will be held as soon as con.
sistent with the illness of the family.
So soon goodbye
To all these boyhood friends,
That thou sbould'st die
Seems the most OF bitter ends
Thou art gonel
We see no more thy smiling face,
But death alone
Will bring thee lasting grace.
Eternity
Claims thee evermore,
Sweet memory
Lingers this side the shore.
