The bright spring sunshine was
turned to gloom for many persons last
Sunday morning when the cad tidinga
spread through the community that
Dorothea cambridge. the dear little
daughter of Hon.A.S. and Mrs. Danske
cambridge. was dead. 1t was so aud,
den and unexpected that it could
scarcely be realized at first, for al
thou b she had been sick, it was thought
that she was on the sure road to
recovery. Dorothea, who was eleven
years of age, was taken with pneumonia
the previous Monday. The fever was
soon broken, however, and the crisis
of the disease seemed to be favorably
passed within few days. Saturday
she was apparently 30 much better 1t
was promised that she could sit up for
a brief time on Sunday. Soon after
midnight Saturday she became sud-
denly much worse, and in few mo-
menis passed away from heart failure;
Her death was not only dreadful
shock to her loving parents ami sister,
bu, it cast a gloom over the whole
community. Dorothea was sweet,
lovable child-one Of those pure IN
heart who shall surely see God, and
had happy, poetic temperament that
not only endeared her to those who
knew her, but gave promise OF a talent
which if developed might have meant
much to the world Gods plans were
different, and while the bud was sweet
eat and loveliest it was plucked from
its earthly connection and taken to
adorn the upper mansion before any
earthly circumstance had marred its
beauty. The people Of all our COM
munity sympathize with the parents
who mourn the loss of one 80 dear.
The funeral was held on Monday, the

Church by Bishop Peterkin, Of West
Virginia, and Rev. @. E. A. Marshall,
