ELIZABETH V. CARY

DAUGHTER OF DR. AND MRS. E.C. CARY IS DEAD
Ill one week but with her condition causing no alarm, the news of
the death of Elizabeth Virginia Cary, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. E. C.
Cary, at the family home at Reedsville at 9 o'clock last evening came
as a shock to friends and relatives in the county. The child was taken
ill with pneumonia a week ago and her condition up until yesterday
afternoon gave no reason to cause alarm but suddenly came a turn for
the worse and she passed away last night. The funeral will be held
Saturday morning with services at St. Mary's Catholic church at
Reedsville at 9 o'clock, Rev. Grace of Maple Grove officiating and
burial will be at Evergreen cemetery in this city.
Born at Reedsville September 13, 1914 Elizabeth Cary was thirteen at
her last birthday. She was a most popular and active little child,
being interested in both school and outdoor activities. A member of
the eighth grade with high marks she was planning on the high school
for next fall. She was also greatly interested in music and had been
assigned an important role in a concert which was to be given shortly
by the Sisters of St. Mary's school at Reedsville. She was also a member
of the Girl Scouts Troop of Sacred Heart church of this city and attended
the meeting regularly. She was a charter member of the Legion Auxiliary
at Reedsville. Besides her parents, Dr. and Mrs. E.C. Cary, she is
survived by one brother, John and the two had been pals in every sense
that the word implies. The death is a sad blow and the many friends of
the family extend their sympathy.

Death's Call
"With silence only as their benediction, God's angels come, Where,
in the shadow of a great affliction, The soul sits dumb."
The above lines from Whittler's poems was brought forcibly home
when after a brief illness of but six days, Elizabeth, only daughter
of Dr. and Mrs. Cary, was called from a happy home where her sunny,
cheerful ways had shed radiance for the thirteen years that God saw
fit to leave her on earthly scenes. Everyone's friend, a smile and
hearty greeting for young and old, words cannot depict the gloom
that her passing has cast on her family, relatives and friends who
can scarcely realize that her voice no more will greet them in life's
journey but although gone from our midst-
"The charm of her virtues, as Heaven's own breath, Shall rise like
an incense from darkness and death."
Her funeral which was held Saturday from St. Mary's Catholic church
Reedsville, with interment in Evergreen cemetery, Manitowoc, was
attended by friends and relatives from far and near, many being
unable to get into the church for the solemn services of the requiem
high mass celebrated by Rev. Fathers W.H. Grace, Maple Grove, Rev.
Edward Wagner, Oshkosh, and Rev. Koblinski, Reedsville. Floral
tributes beautiful beyond description attested to the high esteem in
which although but a child, she was held in the hearts of those who
knew her during her lifetime. Dr. and Mrs. Theodore Schulte, of
Milwaukee, Miss Josephine Schulte of Kenosha, and Fred Schmidt of
Kenosha who were here to attend the funeral returned to their homes
Sunday afternoon. William Cavanaugh of Hudson, Mrs. Dennis Cavanaugh
of Chicago and Joseph Schulte of Cleveland left for their homes Monday.
