The Anthony Weekly Bulletin Harper County Friday January 28, 1898 Death of Charles Costa. Charlie COSTA died last Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, of membranous croup, at the residence of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. James J. COSTA. Charlie Costa had been a sufferer nearly the whole ten years of his life; being attacked when quite young by a disease of the hip. He had recovered from three severe operations, and had seemed to grow stronger after the last one. The little fellow was a reasonably patient sufferer, and had many friends who always had a kind and cheering word for him; though not able to indulge very much in the pastimes of his companions, he always enjoyed being with them, and took pleasure in their enjoyment. He had been ill for nearly a week and his many friends hoped that he might recover, but he gradually grew worse, until his suffering was terrible and death was a relief when it came. Owing to the malignant character of the disease it was deemed advisable not to hold a public funeral, and the interment took place Sunday afternoon. The Bulletin joins in the wide spread sympathy that is being extended to the bereaved ones.
