RECORD OF DEATHS.
Persons Well Known to Many OF Our
Readers, Who Have Answered
Final Summons.
ALL SEASONS ARE THINE, O DEATH.
YONKER.

day morning, suddenly turned
from one of sprightly cheer and
gladness to one of deepest gloom
and keenest sorrow. Mr.and Mrs
Yonker had two children, Glen,
aged about 19, and Hazel Rogers,
bright promising child of IL
years and 9 months.
Little Hazel arose at the usual
time, was at breakfast, and was
IN her usually cheerful mood.
Shortly after breakfast, from an
adjoining room into which Hazel
had gone, Mrs. Yonker heard her
utter an unusual cry and going
to her, Hazel said she had such
severe pain In her head.
The condition of the child ex-
cited alarm and DR.. Remsburg
was hastily moned, but IN
less than three quarters of an
hour from her first attack death
had finished it's work. The cause
of the death was cerebro spinal
meningitis, and none but those
who have witnessed death come
IN that form, can have an ade.
quate conception of it's terrors.
While by no means robust
child physically, Hazel had not
missed day in her attendance at
the public school during the past
four years, nor had she been once
tardy, and she was possessed of
a mental, moral and spiritual
perception much beyond one of
her years.
The large number of people
who attended her funeral, the
public services of which were
held in the Presbyterian church
conducted by Rev. Gates, of the
M. e. church, Hancock, bore evil
dence of the esteem in which the
child was held IN the community.
To avoid any accidents, four
young men acted as pall.bearers,
but the casket was accompanied
into the cemetery at the Presby-
terian chnrch by SIX of her young
friends as honorary pail bearers,
namely, Lois Markley, Verna
Harr, La Verne Charlton, Mabel
Waugh, Mary Bishop, Marguer-
lte Stigers.
