EDITH HOOD
is CALLED AWAY

A telegram received this forenoon
by Senator Thomas Hunter announced
the passing of little Edith Hood, the
six year old daughter OF DR.. and Mrs.
A. ]. Hood, at the Children's hospital
in San Francisco, at 1:45 this morning.
The little one was taken from here
last Saturday afternoon in the hope
that her life might be saved by a
change OF altitude.
About three weeks ago the little one
became i'll with euteritis, which COM
plaint she had been subject to for
several years. Five days later she de-
veloped measles, three days later she
developed whooping cough, and three
days later she developed pneumonia
in the right lung. She was given the
best of medical treatment and the
lung trouble was about cleared up, but
the complication of other ailments
was gradually sapping the little ones
life. II was realized that she could
not survive here and as a last resort
.ne was taken to San Francisco in tt'
hope that lower altitude would prove
beneficial. Yesterday a telegram was
received saying that she stood the TRIP
well and that she seemed brighter. and
there was strong hopes for her recov
e:y.
The passing of this little child is q
sad blow to her parents and they have
the deepest sympathy of the entire
community. She was born in Elko six
years ago next September. and her
sW eet disposition and the happy smile
she had for everyone endeared her to
all with whom she came into contact
Not a child in Elko OF her age was
better known than she, and many viii
sincerely mourn her passing.
No arrangements have yet beer
made for the burial. The remains viii
be brought home for interment, ant
announcement of the time of the fun
eral will he made later.
