East Tenth street, Chester, Recent
ly daughter about two years old
was called away by death. A girl
baby was left to console the stricken
parents, but the little comforter was
not allowed to remain with them
long.
Sunday evening last, the child,
which had aot been very well, took
a sudden change for the worse, and
IN few hours, was taken away by
the angel Of death. The little one
died shortly before l O'Clock yester-
day.
a pathetic circumstance of the
familv's sad bereavement is the fact
that the mother does not know OF
the little child's death. Worn out
by the cares of her afflicted infant,
the mother was unable to bear up
under the nervous strain, and about
II o'clock Sunday evening she CO
Iapsed completely.
For a period Of twelve hours, the
mother remained in an unconscious
state and all efforts to revive her
proved Of no avail 1t was not until
near noon yesterday that the mother
showed signs Of coming to. 1t was
only for Il short period, during which
she inquired about the welfare OF her
baby, when she again became uncon-
sCiOuS.
Her trouble appears to be due TO
nervous prostration and by the adj
vice OF the family physician, the
death of the child has been Kept a
secret from her.
The little one will be buried at st.
