Little Minnie had a severe sickness at the age of five years, at which time she lost her eyesight, but it never cast a gloom over her life. She was always bright, cheerful, and happy, with a pleasant smile for all whom she met. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. During her last illness she suffered greatly but never complained. She longed to be at rest. She spoke frequently of going to her Saviour, where she would be numbered with the angels. She is survived by a father, mother, one brother and two sisters, besides many relatives and friends to mourn her early departure. The funeral services were conducted from the church Sunday p.m. at 2 o'clock, by Rev. J.V. Hummell. Lesson the 90th Psalm. Text Mark 5:39.
