The funeral services were held in the Christian church and the sermon was preached by Judge Walton, Saturday morning, July 23, The burial took place Saturday at the Central Point cemetery in the family lot and one other child is buried. The immediate cause of the death was congestion of the brain brought on by a severe case of malarial fever to which the poor child succumbed in only four days. Yesterday a living bright and healthy child; today death claimed her own; tomorrow in mother earth's embrace lies all that tells the tale; all is over but the memory; how sad.
