OBITUARY
     On Thursday, October 4th, at the residence of her 
parents, in this village, Elizabeth, daughter of Mr. and 
Mrs. P. W. Esser, age 24 years.  The deceased had been 
sick but three weeks, having contracted a severe cold 
which eventually ended in lung fever.  She was confined 
to her room over two weeks but no serious results were 
anticipated until the day before her death, and even 
then it was not thought that the end was so near.  She 
was raised from childhood in this county and therefore 
had a large circle of friends and acquaintances who 
loved her for her many virtues.  She was the pride of 
the family, and her sudden taking away was a severe blow 
to her parents and brothers and sisters.  The funeral 
took place on Saturday at the catholic cemetery and was 
very largely attended.  --- Rev. Father Schmidt, of 
Fairfax, officiated.  The family have the sympathy of 
the entire community in their sad affliction.
