Pearl White

 








Little Pearl White, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. A. White, died at midnight last Thursday night after a few weeks' illness. The child's ailment was cholera infantum and the best of care and medical attention could not repress the onward stride of death. Drs. Reinhardt and Diller, of this place, and Dr. Perry, of Melvin, were all in attendance, but the child at last succumbed. She was over two years of age. The funeral services were held at the house last Friday, Rev. Coolidge officiating, and the remains were then borne to the Roberts cemetery and laid to rest. The heartbroken parents have the universal sympathy of the entire community in their sad bereavement.
