OBITUARY
Miss Marie Jahn

Concerning the death of Miss Ma rie Jahn, aged 13, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Carl Jahn and formerly of this city the St. Augustine Record of Monday, June ' said:
 From St. Augustine's fair garden of childhood the Creator plucked one of it's fairest flowers when he called little Marie Jahn on Sunday morning.
 As lovable in character as she was attractive in person this beautiful child was a favorite with all who knew her, and the poignant sense of the loss of a very dear one is not confined to the circle of her family, but is limited only to the number of friends and acQuaintances. The grief of her parents, who idolized her. has crushed them, and cannot be meas ured in expressions.
 About midday Wednesday the child complained for the first time of an illness which probably began several days earlier. She was busily engaged with her school work, prior to the closing exercises and bravely conceal ed symptoms of illness until her ex- aminations were over and vacation be- gan. Her illness developed with un- usual swiftneSs and by Wednesday her condition was serious. Friday morning her condition became so alarming that the attending physician decided that an immediate operation for appendicitis was imperative She was removed to pr. Worley's sanitari- the extension of the company's busi- tion was performed. The result seem ed satisfactory and she appeared to be progressing fayorably until noon on Saturday, when a change in her condition was noted. Despite every effort of medical science she sank rapidly until 8 o'clock Sunday morn ing when her pure and innocent spirit winged it's flight to it's Heavenly home.
 The funeral takes place this after noon at o'clock from Grace M. E. church and the interment will he made at Evergreen cemetery.
 An escort of her intimate pirJ friends and her classmates will at tend the funeral. Many beautiful floral tributes covered the casket.
