Cecile Bethers.

We reproduce the following from the
Oregon Gazetteer, published at Salem at
the Oregon School for the Deaf:
1t is with feelings of the deepest
grief that we chronicle the death of
our dear little friend Cecile Bethers,
who went to her heavenly home on
Friday, Dec. 10Th, at $50 u. m, aged II
years, mo-, 8 days.
She came promptly at the opening
of school in the fall and by her sweet
and sunny disposition at once won the
love of all who had not already learned
to love her the year before.
Early in November she with seven
other girls contracted whooping cough.
All seemed to have a mild form of the
disease and none of them missed more
than one day at time from school
until Thanksgiving Day, when all were
at dinner and we were congratulating
ourselves on the general health of the
school. But after that Cecile did not
regain her strength as the others did d,
and on Dec. 9TH her mother came and
took her home. She grew rapidly
worse and on the 10th she passed away.
The sad news reached the school on
the 22nd, too late for us to take any
part in the funeral, which occurred at
Toledo, on the 21st. The news cast a
gloom over the whole institution.
Among the new pupils that came to
us in the fall of 1901 was little girl
about ten years of age. She had red
cheeks, brown hair and deep blue eyes
which showed in them intelligence and
truth. She was one of the brightest of
our little class of oral pupils and was
so good and happy all the time that the
other children became very fond of
her. She learned speech and lipread-
ing very readily and many times would
say that she meant to try hard to learn,
so that she could read her papa's books
and talk as her parents did.
Little Cecile has left us and we III iss
her very, very much, but we are COM
forted by the thought that she has
gone to that happy land. where "the
eyes of the blind shall be opened, the
tongue of the dumb shall sing and the
ears of the deaf shall be unstopped." I"
