A DEAR ONE GONE
Miss Elsie Hardwick Dies at the
Home of her Parents, after
A Severe Operation.

As stated in last weeks Journal,
Miss Elsie Hardwick, the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Hardwick,
aged about twelve years, underwent
a severe surgical operation at the
hands of Doctors Emmert, of Attain
tic, and Koob, of Brayton, for de-
caying of the bones of her lower
limbs, Monday forenoon. The oper-
alton so shocked her young and ten
der nature that she never recovered
from it but passed quietly away from
earthly scenes about nine O'Clock
the same evening, Monday, October
%, 1906, at the family home at Oak
field. When the news spread that
the poor suffering girl was dead,
there was a universal cry of "what
can we do to make the funeral as
light for the bereaved ones as pos
sible, for we all love Elsie and wish
to do all in our power to show her
the last mark OF respect we can on
this earth," so the Baptist Sunday
School of which she was member
purchased some beautiful flowers; the
ohSAy WI oohO0is pASoloOQ ONOl ny
Miss Bookout, sent and got more
flowers; the scholars at the Oakfield
Academy had a beautiful wreath
made at the green house; her teacher
Prof. s. r. Nelson, wrote some ap-
propriate verses aud placed them in
side the wreath and when the time
came for the funeral, the beautiful
casket in which lay all that was NOR
tai of Elsie, was bower of flowers.
Mr.. Nels Sorenson, of Brayton, con-
Quoted funeral services at the home,
spoke words of cheer to the sorrow
ing, reminding them that the Sa-
viour said: "Saffer little children to
come unto me. and forbid them not;
for of such was the kingdom of
heaven" And when the agonized
parents and other relatives had taken
q last look at their beloved one, the
coffin was closed and six of the dead
glrPs schoolmates, the Misses Ethel
Bison, Muriel Koob, Sarah Soren-
son, Lydia Blom, Leone Gearheart
and Vera Pearson, who acted as pail
bearers, tenderly bore it to the Oak
field cemetery, a short distance from
her home.
