aud Mrs. J. (j, Roberts. The little girl had been sick over a month, but it was hoped she was recovering when last night about 9 o'clock she quietly departed from this earth. ller's was an unusually lovable disposition.

Lucille had just passed the age of 11 years, and bsfore her sickness she was one of the brightest of her class in school. Shortly before taking sick she attended the meetings at the Presbyterian church and united with that church. The -cause of her death was spinal meningitis. Her mother is almost crazed with gnef and the. loss is especially hard for the father who is just recovering from a very severe sickness.
