Death ended the sufferings OF Fay
Stone Wednesday night at $3.50, after
the little patient had suffered for four
days untold agony, due to an attack
of blood poisoning in Sunday. A
small eruption on the head, probably
infected by coming in contact with
finger all, is thought to have been re-
sponsible for the poisoning.
Miss Fay was born in Plainview.
Neb., Aug. II, 1891. When 3 years old
her mother died, and since that time
she has been in the care of her elder
sister, Miss May Stone, who has been
as a mother to her. The two sisters
came to Marshaltown seven years ago,
and have made their home with their
grandmother, Mrs. Nellie Mooney,
POSI- West Boone street. Miss Fay
was a bright, winsome girl, and made
friends with all who knew her She
was converted AMI united with the
Methodist church during the passionate
of Rev DR.. F. NJ. Coleman. She was
member of the Sunday school and
junior league, also of the Kings Her
aids, a missionary society of young
girls. Her associates in the different
societies of the church, also her many
other friends, will miss her greatly.
Mrs. George G. Stone. of Schuyler,
Neb., father of the deceased, arrived
