Albany, Georgia

                        A Child's Death.

     Little Evelyn Nelson, the 20months old daughter of Captain and Mrs. W.
E. Wooten, died in Gainesville Thursday night, the sad intelligence being 
received in Albany by telegram yesterday morning.
     The little one had always been delicate, and some weeks ago Mrs. Wooten
went with her to Gainesville, hoping that a change of climate would be 
beneficial. At first the little sufferer improved, then grew worse and 
commenced improving again, but the end was not far off. Capt. Wooten went up to 
Gainesville a week ago, and was by his child's bedside when the end came.
     The sympathy of the whole of Albany goes out to these young parents in the
loss of this, their second child, the first having been taken away three years 
ago.
May they find the only balm that can come into their aching hearts, the balm of 
the great Comforter.
The remains were brought down on last night's Central train, and were carried 
to the residence of Mrs. Wooten's father, Mr. T. M. Carter, on Jefferson 
street, whence the funeral will occur this morning at 10 o'clock. The services 
will be conducted by Rev. W. F. Smith, and the following gentlemen will act as 
pall bearers: J. I. Gilbert, W. T. Cox, C. R. Davis and J. G. Hilsman.

                      Death of an Infant.
                                
     A telegram to Mr. T. M. Carter from Capt. W. E. Wooten this morning brought
the sad intelligence of the death of his little infant daughter, Evelyn Nelson 
Wooten which occurred at Gainesville last night.
     The child has been suffering for some time past with a complication of
infantile diseases, and several weeks ago Mrs. Wooten carried the child to
Gainesville, hoping that the change of climate would prove beneficial to it, 
arid that there it might regain its health. Such was not the case, however, as 
the child's condition grew worse, and a few days ago Capt. Wooten was summoned 
to its bedside.
     Little Evelyn was just twenty months old and was the second child of her
parents. Their first child died just three years ago this summer. As the news, 
of the death of the second child spread on the streets this morning, many a 
smiling face was changed into one through which as reflected a sad heart. In 
their sad bereavement, Capt. and Mrs. Wooten are extended the sincerest 
sympathies of the entire community, which has been made sorrowful by the sad 
intelligence.

services were held over the remains of the little infant daughter of Capt. and 
Mrs. W. E. Wooten an account of whose death appeared in yesterday's PENNY PRESS.

friends, a large number of whom were in attendance. upon the funeral, which was
one of the saddest ever witnessed here.
