ing, September-1 IL. 1903, Olive Beecher
Bristol, aged 16 years, months.
1t was great shock to little Ollie's
many friends to learn of her death, al
though she had been quite i'll with an
attack of typhoid fever. She was lovely
young girl just blossoming into that
sweet womanhood which so endeared
her to all. For several days she had
been very i'll and on Friday as the dawn
OF day was giving way to the darkness of
night the Angel of Death hovered over
her and tenderly took her soul to the
celestial home above, and to the many
who knew her here, while it is with great
sorrow that they gave her up, yet it was
one OF Gods blessings that she was with
US thus long. She was OF sunny and
bright disposition and was devoted to
her work in the Sunday school, she be-
ing the treasurer of the school. The pa
rents, Mr.. and Mrs. James Bristol, have
the heartfelt sympathy of many friends
in their loss. and the mother who SO pa
tiently watched at the bedside ever with
the brightest hope, and the father who
had left happy and well daughter but
a few weeks previous when he left for a
much needed vacation, to be called home
with such cruel summons, they are to
be commended to care and mercy of the
all-wise and ever merciful God, who in
his wisdom has taken this young life to
him. The funeral occurred yesterday
afternoon, short services being held by
the Rev. Crissman. The floral offerings
we're many and most beautiful. Inter-
ment was made in the City cemetery.
In Denver. Colorado, SATURDAY.. Septem-
Der IL, 1903, Henry Francis Loughran,
aged 10 years and 2 months.
The young lad had been sick but few
days, having commenced complaining
while camping out in Boulder park. He
came home Sunday, and during the
night had such severe pains that a doc
tor was sent fot and on Thursday he
was taken to st. Josephs hospital in Dem
yer to be operated on for appendicitis
1t was too late however, and all day FRI
day and Friday night he fingered, being
worked over by able doctors and watched
by loving father and mother, brothers
and sisters, but not until just before the
dawn OF morning did the vital spark Of
life go out, thus once more tearing at
the heart strings OF his dear mother, and
seemingly part Of the life OF his twin
sister being broken. He was the young
est son OF Mr.. and Mrs. John Loughran.
and his death ut this time just as he was
about to step upon the threshold Of
young manhood, was sad blow to the
family. The remains were brought to
this city Saturday evening, and taken to
his home, where until Monday hundreds
called to express their sorrow. The fsH-
eral occurred Monday morning from the
Church OF the Assumption. The many
beautiful floral pieces were but a slight
token OF regard. the bereaved family
have the heartfelt sympathy OF their
many friends n this sad hour.
