Obituary of Mabel Mae Nicol


Mabel Mae Nicol, daughter of David and Sarah C. Nicol, was born
at Alright, June 14, 1902 and died April 7, 1904, age 1 year, 9
months and 23 days.

Again has the grim reaper visited our community to pluck from
among us one of earth's brightest flowers, just blossoming into
all the loveliness of sweet childhood.  Just as she was
beginning to lisp her first few words of children prattle,
bringing sunshine and happiness to the home of her parents, her
three brothers, and one sister, Death, with its icy grasp,
claimed her for his own.  Pneumonia had fastened itself upon
the little form and later other troubles set in only to
increase her suffering and lessen her chances of recovery and
gradually did she grow worse till she sank into the sleep which
knows no waking.

The funeral services were held at the Anderson Congregational
church, Rev. E. W. Murray officating.  The floral gifts of
relatives and friends were profuse and beautiful.  A large
number of friends gathered to pay their last tribute of respect
to the departed and extend sympathy to the bereaved parents and
other relatives.  The body was taken to the Marshall cemetery,
where it was laid to rest.
