On last Thursday evening, little
Mary Elizabeth, the two year old
baby girl of Mr.. and Mrs. Barlow
Walsh, died at the home of its grand
mother, Mrs. W. L. Coleman. The
dear little golden-haired girl had
been sick only week. On Wednes-
day her condition grew alarming and
every thing that loving hands could
do was done to save the precious life.
Little Mary was an unusually
bright and winsome child. She was
little sunbeam in the home and her
childish talk and sweet little move
ments will be sadly and keenly missed

ing will be clear. She is "Safe in the
arms of Jesus, safe on His gentle
breast" The funeral services were
