The death of Elsie schiminsky. the
15-year-old daughter of Herman Schim-
insky. occurred at p. m. on Sunday
night at the Wesleyan hospital, Chi
cago. The circumstances of the case
are extremely sad, for about month
ago the young lady was stricken with
paralysis. Her condition has been very
alarming, and when the stroke first at
tackled her, in addition to being rem
dered perfectly helpless. she was also
stricken blind. After a few days she
again regained her sight, and it was
thought that she were recovering. In
stead of recovering she was growing
gradually worse. and last week she was
removed to the hospital in spite Of her
desire to remain at home, for it was
thought that she could receive better
care at the hospital Her condition re-
NAMED practically the same, and she suf-
fered extremely until relieved by death
on Sunday evening. The death of this
exceedingly popular and much loved
young girl has caused great sorrow
She was a member of the eighth grade
and was one of the brightest pupils in
her class. and it is indeed with great
sorrow that the members of Miss Law
ey,s room lose one who was so es-
teemed Great sympathy is extended
to the family, for just about Nov /, one
year ago. an infant baby of the
| Schiminsky family died. Just one year
ago Thanksgiving day the mother was
buried, and this the third bereavement
to befall the family in so short a time
has indeed been a great blow to the
father, especially since the deceased
was the second Oldest of a large family
of children. The arrangements
were made for the funeral to take
place today. Interment to be at Con-
cordia cemetery. Hammond
