T. Preston, which occurred at her home on North Seventh street on last Thursday morning, was not only a severe shock to the members of her family, but brought sadness to the people of the entire community. La Ree was an exceptional child. Her lovable disposition and sweet childish ways made her exceedingly dear to her parents, her teacher and school mates and all who knew her. It seems truly sad that a child blessed with such a sweet disposition and promising future should be taken away. Her illness was of only a few hours' duration, and death came so unexpectedly and with hardly a moment's warning. She was born at Weston, Ida., Oct. 18, 1921, and soon after came to Weiser with her parents, then to Nampa, where the family lived until about two years ago, when they moved to Payette. She leaves to mourn their loss her parents and two younger brothers, and many school mates and others who learned to love her. The funeral was held at Weiser Friday, Oct. 24, and interment was made in the Weiser cemetery. While the untimely passing of this beautiful child has brought untold sorrow, and particularly to the parents and other members of the family, there is one consoling thought -- she has been taken away while yet in all her purity, from a world full of sorrow and temptation, pure and undefiled before her Maker, who said, "Suffer little children to come unto Me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven." With this beautiful thought in mind, you may yet see her in all her glory. Card of Thanks We wish to thank our neighbors and friends for their extreme kindness and words of sympathy in our recent bereavement in the loss of our dear one. Mr. and Mrs. H. T.
