DEATH OF HATTIE REYNOLDS.
On Friday, January 13, the COM
iAullity DO ollOShCu anu odduCuCu ny
the news of the death of Hattie Rey
nolds. youngest daughter of Milton
and Gertrude Reynolds. She was
taken sick the first of the week, but
was not considered to be in dan
gerous state until the day of her
death. The immediate cause of her
death was acute indigestion, although
she had been a sufferer for a num-
Der of years from other and compli
Gated causes. She was thirteen years
of age. She leaves, besides a father
and mother, who have done every
thing that loving parents could do to
make her life sweet and happy, a
brother Clifford, and a sister Gladys.
One of the very beautiful things of
the child's whole life was the love
and tenderness lavished upon her by
her parents and by her brother and
sister. The services were held Sun
day, prayer at the home, and SER
vices at the Congregationalis church,
Rev. Mr. HIATT officiating. The floral
tributes were many and beautiful. all
being from relatives and friends, who
took that chance to pay a last tri
butte to her. The burial was in the
village cemetery.
1t is not often that a child, having
an incurable sickness from birth,
shows the patience and thoughtful
ness for others that Hattie showed.
In her own home and in Places
where she CHANGED to be she was al
ways the same. cheerful and uncom-
planning. She had always been I'M
able to get around and play with 9TH
er children. but this brought her no
discomfort. She was always happy at
home with her mother and father, and
her sister and brother. Their sor-
rows were as hers, and their joys
were her joys. She knew the world
through their eyes, and theirs 1t was
to make her thirteen years of this life
happy and bright. She had every
care and comfort that could be Law
ished upon her. Her stay was short,
but 1t was good, for it showed people
with whom she came into contact
what a beautiful spirit she had, and
1t made people with whom she came
into contact better and nobler She
stayed only thirteen years, but these
were not wasted years. And now she
is gone into the silent hereafter.
There Is a niche in the home which
is now untitled, but her spirit hovers
over those left behind, and the ex
ample she set will long be remember
ed. Her part in the great play of
