Sad Death of Caro. MCCLELLAN.
A Bright School Girl of 16 is Taken Away, after a Brief Illness with Pneumonia.

Only a few days ago, Miss Caroline McClellan, was among the bright and happy school girls of the West Side High School. To-day she sleeps in the silent tomb, where she was gently laid by trembling hands and sorrowing hearts.
Friday, Dec. 1, Miss Caro. was taken down with that fatal disease, pneumonia, of both lungs. She was permitted to suffer but a few days, as God releases her from all earthly pain, after 7 days illness, Friday, Dec. 8th.
The departed was fully reconciled to death, and laid all her plans for her funeral, electing the hymns, "Lead Kindly Light," (which was sang by Mr. Edward Burton.) The second hymn was "Abide With Me."

Very impressive services were held at Calvary Church, Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. G. H. Barry, and was well attended by mourning friends. Many and beautiful were the floral offerings, from school-mates, and other friends. Deceased made a special request that the following named school mates should be the pall-bearers, and they acted as honorary pall-bearers. Richard Wolcott, Chas. Morris, Rob't Shumway, Victor Peterson, Warren CarSkaden, Arthur Vandervolgen.

The remains were interred in the West Side Cemetery.
Miss Caroline was daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. O. MCCLELLAN, was born July 4th, 1878. She was a bright and pleasant girl, and favorite among her young associates and much beloved by her family and friends. The deepest sympathy is expressed for the bereaved family.
