Burley Bulletin July 20 1933 July 20, 1933
  The waters of a lateral took toll of the life of little Betty Lee Connel, 15-
month-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sanford L. Connel, residing about a half 
mile south of Burley at 7 p.m.
  It appears the little one had been playing on the lawn of the Connel country 
home with her father near at hand. The mother was in the house doing her work 
at the time. The baby was last seen playing with a bucket on the lawn, and 
while the father was busy with his work, she evidently wandered up a lateral 
which borders the Connel and Wardle ranches and fell into the stream.
  The body was recovered from the stream about a quarter of a mile from the 
home, where it had been carried by the undertow of the water underneath a 
railroad track. A doctor was hastily summoned and a pulmotor was also 
immediately brought into service. All that medical science could do was done 
in the hopes of resuscitating the child.
  The parents and grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Lee A. Wright of Burley, are 
distracted over the loss of the little one.
  Funeral services were held Wednesday at 10 a.m. from the Christian church 
with Rev. C. M. Reed, pastor of the Methodist church, officiating. Music 
consisted of a selection by a quartet, from Rupert directed by Rev. Victor 
Phillips and duet by Mr. and Mrs. Jos. P. Payne. Interment under the direction 
of Jos. P. Payne was in the Burley city cemetery.
