Sickness OF Willie, the little son Of Mr..
W. J. Lilies, who is suffering with
pneumonia.

thing of since sometime before Xmas.
Christmas was made sad indeed to
this section by the death of Willard,
the son of Mr.. D. T. Cook, Of this place,
which occurred Dec. Oath and while it
is rather late, yet, too much can not be
said of this noble boy who was only 10
years of age. He was sick only few
days with typhoid pneumonia, and
while loving hands and medical skill
were always at his bedside yet that
dreaded disease was too much for him.
The writer was personally acquainted
with Willard and can say that ords
are inadequate to describe his moral
character and Toying and eaec tionate
disposition, true christian, loving
and devoted brother, and a..loying and
obedient son. His many friends in this
section all Join in sympathy for the
bereaved ones.
