A Sad Death.
Ville Platte, Dec. 25, 1899.
Our little community was saddened and thrown into grief yesterday by the sad 
misfortune of one of our esteemed families. It was the accidental drowning of 
the little two-year old daughter of Mr. A. H. Launey.
There was a pond in the corner of the yard, and whilst playing alone she fell in 
and was drowned. Her mother had but a few moments left her to go invite the 
grand-mother to take a Christmas dinner with the family. The next day the grief 
of the heart-broken father and mother can better be imagined than described, and 
is heart rendering to witness.
It has seldom if ever been the pleasure of the writer to meet one of such tender 
years that was so bright and interesting as little Adelaide Myra Launey. Loved 
by all who knew her, she has left a void in the hearts of relatives and friends 
that can never be filled.
A FRIEND.
