Crawfordsville Journal, Friday, August, 30, 1901 Death of Miss Marie Larsh Miss Marie Larsh, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Larsh, died at the family home in Indianapolis last night at twelve o'clock. Miss Marie, with her sister, Miss Dora, had been in Chicago for the past two years studying art and music. About ten weeks ago she became slightly ill and went to her parents in Indianapolis, expecting to take a short vacation. She did not improve, however, and the doctors stated that she had walking typhoid fever. She did not take to her bed, however, until a few days ago when the complication of pneumonia set in. She grew worse and it became certain that the case was a very serious one. Still she was so strong that it was thought she would recover and hope was not given up until a very few hours before her death. Miss Larsh was born in this county twenty-two years ago and lived in Crawfordsville until she went to Chicago to study. A very pretty girl she was possessed a brilliant mind and a charming and engaging manner that endeared her to all with whom she came in contact. She was a musician and an artist of rare ability, and during her studies in Chicago her work had been highly praised by the best teachers in the country. That this bright and happy girl with the promise of so successful and useful a future before her should die is one of those peculiar dispensations of Providence that none can understand. Her parents and sister are simply crushed by this sad bereavement that has come upon them. Mr. Larsh was here this morning arranging for the interment which will take place at Oak Hill tomorrow.
