Little Girl Dies

It was shocking news to the many friends of the parents and grandparents when 
the sad intelligence came of the death of little Edith Dunn the beautiful 
little three years old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H.L. Dunn of Belleview.  The 
death occurred at the home of Mr. P.F. Mahone, the grandfather of the little 
girl where she was suddenly taken sick and died within twelve hours after she 
was walking about on the floor.  The pure little angel spirit took its flight 
so suddenly that the shock could not be endured by the fond parents and the 
father became unconscious from the shock and remained so several hours.  She 
stayed on earth just long enough to wind herself about the hearts of all who 
knew her and then was transplanted in the world above – perhaps we do not know 
why – that the hearts  of those who loved her may be more fixed on the heavenly 
land than ever before.  While it is hard to give up one so full of promise, yet 
it was a blessing that she was lent to this old world even so short a time.  We 
would attempt it if we knew how but we are speechless in trying to console the 
weeping parents, grandparents, and loving uncles and aunts in this, their dark 
hour of bereavement.

*Note – In the November 26, 1903 issue of the New Era on page 6, there is a 
poem written in memory of Edith Dunn by May E.M. Millan.
