LAS VEGAS AGE
4/15/1916

DIED

JACKSON:  In Santa Monica, California, Saturday, April 8, 1916, at 11:30 
p.m., Thelma Vernell, only and beloved daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry 
JACKSON, aged 8 years and 11 days.
    The funeral services were held in Santa Monica at 2 o'clock Tuesday 
afternoon and interment was made in the beautiful Rosedale cemetery in 
Los Angeles.
    The news of the death of little Thelma JACKSON brought grief to the 
hearts of many Las Vegas people who have seen her grow from babyhood to 
girlhood as delicate and beautiful as a flower.  She was a child of Las 
Vegas, having been born here March 28, 1908, and lived here with her 
parents until they removed to El Paso, Texas, less than a year ago. In 
that city she suffered her first serious illness, being stricken with 
typhoid fever and pneumonia, from which she recovered in time, but 
weakened and broken in health.  Recently Mr. and Mrs. JACKSON brought 
her back to Vegas in the hope that the old home and pleasant climate 
might restore her to complete health, but the benefit was only 
temporary.  It was thought best to take her to the coast, where the low 
altitude would be less severe on a weakened heart, but death brought an 
end to the hopes.
    We, who have known her and loved her as a happy child during the 
past eight years, feel an especialy deep sympathy for the sorrowing 
parents.  Though she has been taken to that other bright shore, the 
memory of her sweet young life will ever remain as a comfort to those 
who mourn.
