      MISS  WILLIE  B. ALLMON SUCCUMBS TO BLOOD POISON IN MOST VIOLENT FORM
  
  On Wednesday last, about noon, occurred the sad passing of Miss Willie B. 
Allmon, of Rupert, following an illness of less than 24 hours from an attack of 
blood poison, considered by physicians as one of the most violent forms of that 
dreded malady.
  This fair young girl, so endowed with cheer and enthusiasm, attended classes 
in school as usual on Tuesday.  Tuesday night she complained of severe headache 
and local remedies were applied.  Her condition showed alarming symptoms.  
Wednesday morning when a physician was summoned who announced the attack that 
of blood poison in its most serious form.  A desperate fight was made to save 
the young girl's life, but the disease had gained such a hold on her form that 
the thread of her life snapped and amid the tears of those who loved her the 
perfume of her sweet life was exhaled into the air to Heaven.
  She was the 7-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. P. Allmon.  The mother was 
a patient at the hospital at Plains at the time of the sad bereavement having 
been admitted there for treatment on the previous Sunday.
  Besides the parents she is survived by the following sisters and one 
brother:  Mrs. Orrin Scott, Misses Ethel, Elma, Robbie Lee and Myrtice Allmon 
and Douglas Allmon.
  The death of Miss Willie B. has cast a gloom over the entire community.
  Funeral services and interment of the remains took place at Prosperity 
Cemetery Friday, Rev. J. D. Price of Ellaville, conducting the last sad rites.
