his home on Wednesday morning, at
the age of two years, eleven months
and ten days.
His fatal sickness, tubercular menin-
gifts, was the-result of some injury re-
ceived while at play little more than a
week ago. The courage, patience and
cheerfulness of the little lad in his i'll
ness were marvellous But the yearn-
ings and prayers of parents and friends
could not stay the crisis. After much
suffering, often in delerium, he passed
beyond the power of human ills, in the
early hours of the morning.
The service was conducted at the
house by his pastor, Rev. West The
Normal school attended in body.
Claire was a friendly child and had a
smile for everybody. Thoughtful, af-
fectionate, sympathetic and straight
forward in his manner, he compelled
everyone to love him. By his unselfish
nature he made his way into our hearts.
He shall be missed in the Sunday School,
which he loved. His many friends will
miss his cheerful face on the street.
Most of all, the home which he has va
Gated for a season and into which he
has infused so much of his own good
cheer and laughter will be place of
sad thoughts; but we earnestly pray
that the consultations of faith may bring
their comfort and peace according to
the promise.
We extend our deepest sympathy to
the bereaved family.
