Oakland Messenger IL Newspaper Thursday July 21, 1921 SAD DEATH OF CHILD Mr. and Mrs. Willis Hunt Lose Their Only Child After a Short Illness Mary Irma Hunt aged 3 years 10 months and 27 days daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Willis Hunt, passed away Tuesday night July 19th following an illness of two days. The little Miss took sick Sunday night with convulsions and notwithstanding the fact that all that all that medical skill and loving care could do was done, the spirit passed from the little body and winged it's flight to the God who gave it. Mary Irma was the only child of Mr. and Mrs. Willis Hunt. She was a beautiful little child with a bright and sunny disposition and was worshipped by her parents. With her pleasing smile this little tot easily won a place in the hearts of all those whom she met. Only those parents who have lost their only child can know the sorrow which has visited this home. Funeral services were conducted Thursday afternoon, July 21, at 2:00 o'clock from the Fairview church, Rev. A. M. Lowry officiating, after which the remains were laid to rest in Fairview cemetery. The Messenger joins the community in extending sympathy to the heartbroken parents.
