-Four deaths in our town in one
day is very unusual occurrence,
but such occurred last Sunday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Gross are
the parents oftwin boys, whose birth |
and death took place last Sunday
morning.
The late Joseph Martin, who had
been i'll for some time with pneu-
monia, died on Sunday about one
O'Clock. Funeral services were
held Tuesday afternoon at Barratt's |
Chapel. Interment was made in
the adjoining cemetery. He leaves
several grown children and three
young children, who are now or
phans, their mother having died
several years ago. The family
have our sympathy in their sad hour.
Sadness is in the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Harry Mitten, whose little son
Daniel aged about three years, died
last Sunday afternoon, after an ill
ness of several weeks. They miss
the Sunshine of his presence, his
smile and caresses. The childish
ptattle is stilled and he is at rest.
/ Though thy darling form lies sleeping,
IN the cold and silent tomb:
Though shalt have glorious waking
When the blessed Lord shall come"
