Hebe Andrus, the only daughter Of
Mrs. Adelaide Andrus, aged years
and months. passed away Saturday
morning at a Chicago hospital fol-
lowing an operation for a cancerous
growth on the back of her head,
Little Hebe, the idol of the family
and Of the community, was born in
this city, her mother being here on
a. visit to her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
S. H. Ferris. After her birth they
returned to their happy home in
Denver. Colo, and later a little
brother. Ferris Andrus, came to
make the home circle complete. But
only for brief spell did this family
chain remain unbroken, as early last
fall the father and husband, Ralph
Andrus, q prominent attorney of the
west, was stricken with influenza,
and before loved ones in this city
could be informed of his condition
he had passed away. Mrs. Andrus
then returned with her two babes to
Carthage, to be with her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Ferris, and while they
have been conscious Of Hebe's afflic-
ton, yet she did not suffer from the
same, and her child voice and happy
play filled the home with sunshine,
and her death has so crushed the
mothers heart that one feels her
sorrows have been too heavy to bear.
The body was brought to the Ferris
home Sunday morning, but definite
plans have not been made as to the
funeral and burial, it being Mrs.
Andrus' desire to lay the baby form
beside that of her husband, but her
health being so wretched at this
time, she is unable to make the trip
to, Denver.
