80 HANW,


The Grim Reaper paid another Of
his cruel visits to our little town
Saturday morning at two O'Clock and
took from our midst a lovely child,
Florence Gaskell, the fourteen year
old daughter of Mrs. Mary Gaskell.
Death was due to appendicitis.
Florence has been Ill since Monday
evening. but her family did not
realize the seriousness of her condi-
ton until Wednesday afternoon
when they called in DR.. Finch, at
which time she was quite beyond
help, and was carrying a fever Of a
hundred and five and a half. She
was operated upon Friday morning,
but lei fever stayed up and at two
o'clock the following morning she
passed into her eternal sleep. Her
mother and sister in law, Mrs. James
Gaskell, were at her bedside when
the end came.
Florence Gaskell was born in
Hanna, and celebrated her 14th
birthday on the 21st of April, and
was a pupil in the seventh grade
of the Hanna schools. She was an
active member of the Girls Friendly
Society, and sang in the junior choir
OF the Episcopal church.
The funeral, which was held on
Tuesday afternoon from the Epis-
copal church was in charge of the
Pythian Sisters and the Eagles. Mr..
Sidney Morgan read the beautiful
burial service, and the body was
laid to rest in the family plot in
the Hanna cemetery.
Besides her mother Florence is
survived by a sister, Nellie, and four
brothers, James Gaskell of Parco,
A lbert, Percy and John all of
Hanna.
James Gaskell arrived Saturday
morning from Parco in response to a
telegram telling of the death Of his
little sister.
