Orr, Bertha

Sad and Fatal Accident.
A death occurred very suddenly in our midst last Friday morning which has cast a gloom over the community. On Wednesday, 26th ult., while the children of Mrs. M. C. Orr were out playing with their sled, drawing each other on the ice and enjoying themselves as only children can do, Bertha, the second daughter, slipped and fell, her head striking the ice, by which a severe bruise was inflicted upon the temple. The little girl walked home, and although the bruise caused her considerably pain, the injury was not considered serious. Medical attendance was secured and the friends of the little one did all in their power to relieve her suffering, but on Friday morning her spirit departed from the house of clay very suddenly and peacefully. A matter which rendered the circumstance even more painful was the absence of the mother of the little girl who left the week previous on a visit to friends in Luther, leaving the children with their grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Royce. The family have the warmest sympathy of the entire community in their sudden affliction. Lovely in her life, kind friends ministerd to her at death, conveyed her mortal remains, amid the sympathies of many to the Georgetown cemetery, there to remain until the morning of the resurrection of the Just.
