FUNERAL OF ADA ADKINS.

Last Thursday the funeral of little Ada Adkins took place from the Baptist 
church in Medford. The crowd of people who, upon this occasion gathered to
pay the last sad tribute of love and esteem, was probably as large a one as
ever congregated in our city upon a similar occasion. Every inch of seating
capacity in the church was occupied and many were compelled to stand-and
none were there through motives of curiosity, but all to express their
sympathy for the relatives and their great regard for the departed one. 

Ada Adkins was born in [the] state of Indiana, April 10, 1881, and departed
this life at Medford, May 10, 1893, aged twelve years and one month.

Transcriber's note: The remainder of the notice is the sermon preached at
the funeral. No mention of Ada's parents or other family members, or where
she was buried, is made.
