LITTLE ONE CALLED "HOME" 

It is with a great degree of sadness that we make the announcement of the 
death of little Mary Eleanor McKinney, the only child of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. 
McKinney, who passed form this life into the great beyond at 2:30 Wednesday 
morning. The little one was taken with Spanish influenza about a week before 
her death which soon developed into pneumonia and while she received the 
tenderest care and constant attention of the best of physicians it was to no 
avail and death came to relieve her sufferings at 2:30 Wednesday morning being 
just 2 years, 11 months and 4 days old at the time of her death. This is one 
of the saddest occurrences this community has ever witnessed, as the mother at 
the time and is now lying very low with the same disease and the body of her 
sister Mrs. L. C. Kelly of Columbus, Ohio, who died of influenza last Tuesday 
morning is enroute for interment at this place, accompanied by the husband and 
infant child.

On account of the prohibiting of public gatherings no public funeral was held, 
just a short service conducted by Rev. Thomas Ashworth at the Riverside 
cemetery where the little body was laid to rest.

Many are the sorrowing friends who will deeply sympathize with the bereaved 
relatives in the loss of this little one that was so near and dear to them, 
who will ever remember with cherished thoughts the bright spot in the home for 
a few short months. She was a sweet child and will not only be missed by 
father and mother and other relatives, but by many others who frequently 
passed the home.
