WATERSIDE WAIFS.

  The people of our community were shocked on Friday evening by the sad 
news that Ralph Tobias, son of James and Jennie Curry, had answered the 
last summons and succumbed to that dread disease, acute pericardicitis 
[sic].  Ralph was a very healthy and lively child until about two 
months ago, when he contracted diphtheria, since which time he has been 
a very patient sufferer.  His ringing laugh and musical voice will be 
missed from his home.  We can but think as the Master has promised, 
that our loss will be his gain.  Ralph is survived by his father, 
mother, two brothers and four sisters, all at home.  Mr. Curry is a 
member of the firm of Woodcock & Curry.  The sympathy of the entire 
community is with the bereaved family.  Ralph was aged 4 years and 26 
days.  Funeral services were held in the Bethel church at this place by 
Rev. O. E. Houston, where Ralph was always seen in Sunday school.  
Interment was made in the Union cemetery at Loysburg.  Funeral services 
at 2 o'clock p.m. Sunday.
