A formal reply to the meSsaKS

Through their general manageffSIs

Representatives of the employee
announced last night that the confer

Death of Margert May Hill

Margert May Hill, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Hill, of this
city, passed from her earthly home
to the great beyond January, 4th,
1914. The little one was born in
Kendrick, Idaho, February IL, 1905.
For the past four weeks she had
been suffering from the Valveless
dease of the heart. The funeral
services were held in the Methodist
church January 5th, Rev. Smith of
the Presbyterian church offici ting.
The remains were laid to rest in the
city cemetary on the Potlatch bench.
Little Miss Margert leaves father,
mother, two brothers and one sister
by whom she will be greately missed.
The third grade of the Public school
of which the deceased was a pupil,
was in attendance at the funeral
services, and the teacher, Miss
Marvel, and the scholars laid a
beautiful boquet of flowers on the
coffin, showing their friendship
for the little one who had been called
from their midst. The sorrowing
ones have the sympathy of the en-
tire community in this their hour of
bereavment.
