The Princeton union., 1910-03-17


out was ITO. Mr.. Southland was
honorably discharged on December 9,
1862, at Frederick City, Indiana, in
consequence of disability. He sus-
tanned severe injuries by his horse
falling upon him when pursuing
rebels at Culpepper while acting as
orderly for General Porter. Mr..
Southland was a past commander of
Wallace T. Rines Post, No. l42,
Princeton.
Leander P. Southland was a man
whom it was pleasure to know-al-
ways of a kindly disposition and
possessing soul of honor. He was
a man who knew not an enemy-who
counted his friends by the hundred
friends who will long mourn the death
of this noble citizen. He was an ideal
husband and kind father, charitable
to a fault. The golden rule was his
standard and he followed it as closely
as it is possible for mortal man to do.
Doris Nj. Hunt.
Doris Mary, the infant daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Hunt, died at
the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. E. A. Ross,
her grandparents, on Sunday after
noon, March Is, at O'Clock. The
little girl had been suffering from
whooping cough and it's attendant
consequences, exhaustion, for a
period of eight weeks, and although
two doctors had been treating her at
Grand Forks, N. D., she gradually
grew worse. In the hope of saving
her life her mother brought her to
Princeton on Thursday of last week
and placed her under the care of DR..
Cooney, but her system had become
so weakened that he found it i'm
possible to restore her to health
although he resorted to every means
known to medical science.
Funeral services were conducted
by Rev. Fisher of the Congregational
church at the Ross, residence on
Tuesday afternoon at O'Clock, Mr..
Fisher delivering very impressive
sermon. Mrs. Cooney and Miss Rita
Byers each rendered pretty lullaby
at the obsequies. Many friends and
nieghbors attended the ceremonies
and followed the remains of the little
girl to Oak Knoll cemetery, where they
were laid to rest where patriarchs
and babes sleep side by side. The
pallbearers we're Harold Galley,
George Small, Doran Jack, and Ger
aid Peterson. The tiny casket was
fairly covered with offerings of pretty
flowers contributed by relatives and
friends of the family.
Doris was a sweet-natured child
and up to within very short time of
her death, when her dolly was held
up to her, and when life was fast
ebbing away, she smiled at the toy
which had been her companion. AS
she lay in the little fower-embedded
casket she reminded one of the
cherubs painted by Michael Angelo,
so angelic were her features. It is in
deed hard blow for Mr.. and Mrs.
Hunt to lose their first born, and their
many friends sympathize with them in
this, the hour of their sorrow.
Mr.. Hunt, the child's father, ar
rived here on Monday from Grand
Forks, N. D., as did also Mrs. B. P.
Taylor and daughter, Adelaide, from
Watertown, S. D., to be present at the
funeral.
