FATAL ACCIDENT
The Little Daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. F. A. Nelson Dies from
the Effects of a Nervous
Shock.

Death came very Unexpectedly into
the home of F. A. Nelson last week,
taking from the devoted father and
mother their little daughter, Verna
Beatrice, their only child, aged five
years.
The little girl came home from
school on Tuesday and sat down by
the stove to dry her feet on the fender.
Mrs. Nelson had kettle of water
boiling on the stove and the very hot
fire made the kettle, which, was a
rounded bottomed one, move from
side to side. Gradually it moved to
the edge of the stove and fell over,
spilling the boiling contents into the
little ones lap, inflicting severe burns
before the clothing could be removed.
The burns, however, were not severe
enough to cause death, but the
nervous shock was so great that the
little sufferer passed away on Thurs
das night.
The funeral was held from the
Adventist church on Saturday after
noon, Elder o. o. Bernstine of St.
Paul conducting the services. His
sermon was most comforting one,
from the story of the resurrection.
To the afflicted parents and to the
other relatives, all hearts 60 out in
tender, loving sympathy.
"Mourner, when God invites thee
there,
Earth's cares and troubles DER,
Thy child shall welcome thee to
heaven,
And open wide the door,
