having barrels with which to make
shipments. Hence the temporary

Beloved Daughter Passes.

Edith Marie Smith, beloved daugh-
ter of Elmer Smith of Canoe Twp.
passed away last Wednesday at the
DEBORAH hospital. She was taken ill
with appendicitis on Sunday, Nov. 2,
and underwent an operation on Mon
day. The deceased was born May
II, 1911, in Canoe township and was

Smith. The mother passed away in
1915, and since her death the little
girl had made her home with her
grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. Geo.
Fisher, of Pleasant Twp. She was an
exceptionally bright child and her
taking away so young is a severe
blow to the bereaved father and
grandparents and the sympathy of
everyone goes out to them in their
loss. The funeral services were held
Friday afternoon from the NJ. E.
church. Rev. Wells officiated and in
terment was in the Russell cemetery,
six of her little girl friends bearing
her to, her last resting place.
