Obituary. Died: Bessie M. Fry, daughter of Mrs. Bell H Lewis, was born at Yates Center, Kaunas. Feb. 15, 1884; died at her home one-half mile west of Burr Oak. Kansas, Dec. 4, 1891. aged 7 yrs. 9 months and 18 days. She had partially recovered from a severe attack of diphtheria, when the disease took the form of pneumonia and soon the gentle spirit departed. Bessie was a sweet, thoughtful child, quick to learn and a favorite among her associates. Her teachers and parents always found her obedient and dutiful. Her natural inclination was to love the right and seek to do it. While missed oy friends and school mates here, she has gone to be reunited with one of her classmates who a fortnight ago passed unto that school of God where Christ doth rule. A short funeral service was held at the grave by Rey. J. C. Walker, The friends have the deep sympathy of the entire community, although it could not be manifested on account of that contagious disease, diphtheria.
"One by one earth's ties are broken
As we saw earth's love decay;
And the hopes so fondly cherished
Brighten but to pass way .
One by one our hope grow brighter,
As we near the golden shore;
For we know across the river
Wait the loved ones gone before."
