family of Robert (Bob) Clough,
who recently lost their old and
faithful Trixie by natural causes.
Trixie was known to be at least %
years old, an ancient age for ca
mines. Her ancestry was of the
fox-terrior breed and her origin OBJ
sscure due to having been picked UP
from a roadside ditch with only a
kafm spark of life left. Taken to a
dsliing station on the western edge
sof town, Trixie was fed warm milk
and soups by spoon and soon reviv-
ed, and with tender care soon be-
came a live-wire and at that time
was named Tex, a short name for
"a well-known gasoline. Finally,
after passing some time with three
Families, she was adopted by the
C1oughs. One accomplishment OF
the late Trixie was learning to ride
o tricycle.. Dog lovers only can ap-
preciate the loss felt in the passing
OF this true and faithful friend.
