Show FUNERAL OF BABE VERY SAD AFFAIR One of the saddest .funerals ever held in the Dale was held last Wednesday Wednes-day afternoon at the home of W. J. Douglass, when the two year old child, of Mrs. Douglass' brother, Edward Haymore, a refugee from Mexico, was laid away. The little one suffered a sprain in one of its arms a short time before, and while the doctor was attending to the injury some peanuts were given her, one of which she must have choked upon, as the kernel entered the windpipe and lodged there. The child suffered the greatest of pain and was fast getting weaker, when Dr. Bigelow the attending physicion, called in Dr. Wood to consult upon the advisability ad-visability of an operation with the hopes of locating the pea. This was decided upon as the only visible means of keeping the life in the little body. The operation, performed Sunday night, disclosed tne obstruction to be located in the passage leading to the right lung and it was hoped that the same might dissolve naturally, or otherwise be disposed of. Though much easier after the operation, the one active lung soon became clogged with mucous and the little life expired Tuesday at daylight. day-light. Though but strangers in the town, everything that loving hands could do was done for the babe and the bereaved family. Elders O. J. Andersen and G. F. Hickman were the speakers at the services conducted by Bishop Lar- , sen, and musical numbers were render-ed render-ed Dy A. B. Willey and Misses Emma Anderson and Leah Hickman, accompanied accom-panied by Prof. Driggs. There was not a dry eye to be seen in the fair-sized fair-sized audience of sympathetic friends, many of whom had watched the futile struggles of the babe in ite attempts to get breath and its frantic appeals to both father and loving stepmother, who, though young herself, did everything every-thing that could be done by any mother, for the suffering little life placed in her care. Elder McQuarrie dedicated the grave. |
