After a Short

LOSS IS DEEPLY FELT
Young Woman Won Highest honors
Both In keokuk High School
and at Washington
College.

Vivian Isabel Demple, only daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. George A. Demple
OF 626 High street, passed away at
her home at $50 o'clock last night
from nasal diphtheria, after an i'll
ness of only eleven days. The death
OF this young woman, who was only
in her twentieth year, has come as
a deep blow to her parents and to
her many friends throughout the
city. The bereaved parents have the
sympathy of the entire community in
their loss, which has been so sudden
and unexpected.
Death has carried away a young
woman who 'lAi so far made a brill
liant record on her now closed book
OF life, She was the winner of the
first Kilbourne prize for excellence
i'll study when she graduated from
the Keokuk nigh school here in 1914
and also won high honors at Wash
ington college in Washington, D. c.,
from which she graduated last May.
AS a student she strove after and
attained the highest in everything
she undertook. Miss Demple was also
talented violin player and singer
and in her death life of promise
has been cut short. Her many friends
here have only the highest words Of
praise for her ana her splendid stu
dent record, although panied by the
sense of their personal loss.
