LITTLE GIRL DIES AFTER
UNDERGOING AN OPERATION

Dorothy, the three and half
year old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Jesse Spencer of East Bloom, died
Tuesday at $3.50 at the Bethesda
hospital, GAINESVILLE, where she un-
derwent an operation. Death was
due to a blood clot in the artery
It will be recalled that about a year
ago the child was terribly burned
about the face and chest when her
clothes caught fire from an open
fireplace. She was brought here to
the hospital for treatment and for
some time it was thought that she
could not live. However, with
heroic medical treatment. and the
best of nursing, she recovered, but
was left with deformities of the face
and arms, and it was to remedy
these that the operation was per-
formed. While the operation was a
long and tedious one, she came out
from under the anaesthetics, but the
blood clot soon formed, and death
occurred almost instantly. She
leaves one sister, Vida, aged seven,
also her parents, and grandparents,
Mr.. and Mrs. David Jackson of this
place.
Funeral services will be held at
the home in East Bloom today at /
o'clock. Iaterment will be made in
the McCon3elsyille cemetery.

Oldest County Resident Dies

Lucinda Gatewood, daughter OF
John and Margaret Gatewood, was
born Aug. 16, 1922, near Bellaire
o., and died June A, 1922.
At about the age of IS, she with
her sister and number of friends
pioneered west, taking up her resi-
dence in the Pennsville vicinity.
She was married to VIM. Choguill,
Oct. 81, 1874. To this union seven
children were born: Francis Marion,
Sarah Elizabeth, Otha Strall, Al
bert Bryson, Herman Warren, Viii
liam Thomas, and Lucy Margaret.
Her husband and three children
Otha, Sarah, and Herman, preceded
her in death. She leaves three sons
and one daughter, also four grand
children and seven great grandchil-
dren.
Mrs. Choguill was consistent
member of the M. p. church. Her
life has been that of great en-
couragement, always kind, condol-
ing, always radiating those nobler
qualities of which she was so rich

August she would have lived 100
years. 1t is evident that her life

Gods laws, her faculties being pre-

us all, and may we who are left to
mourn our loss $50 live that when
our summons comes to join the in
Vulnerable caravan, which moves to
that mysterious realm, where each
shall take his chamber in the silent
halls of death, We go not like the
quarry-slave at night scOurged to
his dungeon. but. sustained and
soothed by an unfaltering trust, ap-
proach our grave like one who
wraps the drapery of his couch
about him and lies down to pleas
ant dreams. Xxx.

ROCKY GLEns WIN

In spite of a heavy downpour OF
rain Sunday afternoon, that maze
the ball park better suited for water
polo or raising ducks, than for play
ing base ball the Rocky Glens and
Philo played their scheduled game
before a good sized crowd OF loyal
rooters. The game was an excellent
one despite the mud and water.

Notes of the Game
For the fourth straight game
Lewis got on base the first time up
and scored.
Deedrick, besides playing his US
ual fast game at short, recovered ms
batting eye and had double; single
and sacrifice in five times up.
Ridgley's game at first base snow
ed that there need be no further
worry about that cornor being tax
en- care of. He also batted .5OO TOT
the game.
Nell furnished the fans considera-
ble amusement in the second inning.
He was safe on first on an overthrow
and decided to try for second on the
play. When nearly there he FOUND
that the second baseman had the
ball on the line waiting for him so
he took long breath, shut his eyes
and did a submarine dive. Wnen
the baseman tried to touch him out
"Dutch" was at least foot under
ground and the baseman missed
him. When he came to the surface
he had the base in his hands but the
umpire called him out for peing
such a dirty ball player.
The turnout of fans in spite or the
rain and mud shows that the people
of the county are going to give the
team royal support while the play
ing of the local team Sunday under
the same conditions is proof that the
fans are going to get their moneys
worth at all games.
The game next Sunday Will be
with Cannelville at 2:30 and the To-
cal boys are going after revenge.
1t will be good game.-XA.
