Lindley, son of Mr. and Mrs. G. R. Lindley, aged two years, six months and five days. Funeral services were held at the family residence on Tuesday, Sept. 25th, Rev. W. H. Moore officiating. While the demise of any member of the family, especially the little ones, is always attended with much sorrow and the grief seems almost beyond endurance by parents and friends, but the case above mentioned is a peculiar one and is sadder because of the circumstances surrounding it. Last Thursday evening the little fellow fell from a bed to the floor and in the fall bit his tongue. What child has not thus fallen many times-but nothing serious came of the falls. The tongue bled profusely and the blood wound not stanch. A physician was called and every means known to medicine and surgery was applied but to no avail and the little fellow slowly bled to death. The flow of blood was at no time stopped until about a half hour before the child's death. The bereaved parents have the deepest and most heartfelt sympathy of the entire community in their sad bereavement.
