A. and Sister Frances McNally and claimed as its victim their only daughter, Bessie Gladys, age 1 year, 6 months, and 25 days. For more than a week she had suffered and lingered near the end of life's journey. The loving parents did everything in their power together with the assistance of a good doctor and a host of neighbors and relatives but the end came and her little spirit was wafted away to the realms of day by the angels to join the loved ones gone before. She was a bright, sweet spirited child and was loved by all who knew her. But she is free from pain, sickness and sorrow and is now resting in the presence of Jesus and waiting the coming of father, mother, and little brothers to join her on the other shore. The funeral was conducted by the writer at New Church at 3:00 o'clock p.m., in the presence of a large audience of sorrowing relatives and friends and the remains laid to rest in the cemetery near by.
