Three Sad Deaths

The past week with (paper torn) funerals of unusual (paper torn) the community 
surrounding (paper torn) ynolds.  In each instance the deceased was a child 
about the same age.  The first of these was little Madelle Montgomery, the 
sweet and attractive little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Montgomery of the 
Crowells neighborhood.  She was the only child of her parents and was one of 
the brightest pupils at Glover’s school.  Little Madelle was buried at Crowells 
church, the services being conducted by Rev. J.H. Stanford.

The very next day Rev. V.P. Scoville, in the absence of their pastors, was 
called out to Glover’s Schoolhouse cemetery to lay away with appropriate rites 
little Felton Byrd, the seven year old son of Mr. and Mrs. John Byrd.  This, 
too, was an only child and likewise one of the most promising pupils in the 
Glover’s school.

The third was Louise Simmons, seven year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O.H. 
Simmons.  We understand that this precious little one was laid to rest at, or 
near, Bethlehem Church.  To the bereaved parents in each instance we extend our 
heartfelt sympathy, in this their hour of deep sorrow.
