       Followed Two Sisters After Suffering from Injuries Several Weeks.
                             Died Last Thursday


The third and last child victim of the terrible gasoline fire accident in
the Conrad home at Little Cedar passed away last Thursday.

The accident occurred in the middle of July and the baby died the same
day. The second death was reported in these columns last week and the
death of Vera, occurring last Thursday, closes the third chapter in one
of the worst tragedies that has been visited upon this county.

Funeral services were held Saturday and a large crowd was present.
Everywhere is manifested the deepest sympathy for the afflicted family.
