Jessie Breedlove, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Breedlove, who had been confined to his bed for over two months, breathed his last on Sunday morning. Although his death had been expected for some time, it came as a shock to his relatives and friends. Constant medical attention and careful nursing were of no avail. He never wanted for anything that loving hands could do for him. All who knew him loved him. He was a favorite with all his teachers and playmates. He was laid to rest in Goshen cemetery Monday in the presence of a large number of friends and sorrowing relatives. His teacher with all her pupils attended the interment and when the snow white casket, which held all that was mortal of dear Jessie, was hidden from view, there was scarcely a dry eye. Being only 15 years old, life seemed full of promise and we can't see why he was taken. But God knoweth why. We wish to say to the broken-hearted father and mother that it won't be long until you will meet your dear son in the better land where parting is no more.
