DEATH´S RUTHLESS HARVEST

We have just learned of the death of Mrs. Edith Bray at her home in Horrell precinct, sometime Thursday night. Mrs. Bray was the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John DeLate. She was an exceedingly bright and tractable young woman and a universal favorite with all who knew her. Her sad and untimely death is greatly deplored here, and her husband, parents, brothers, and sisters have the sympathy of all.

The remains was interred in the Farnam cemetery, Friday, after a short funeral service at the home conducted by Rev. Stinnette.

An infant son, scarce a week old, was left motherless, and it, by its mothers dying request, will be taken and cared for by its grandmother, Mrs. Bray.

The funeral service was held at the home Friday morning at ten o'clock and the remains were laid to rest in the Farnam cemetery, Rev. Stinnette conducting.
