Death of a Little Boy.

An occasional correspondent at Birmingham sends us the following:

Wilber Campbell, a bright and interesting little son of Rev. Thomas A.
and Annie Elliott, of Birmingham, Pa., died at that place Thursday
afternoon, of congestion of the lungs, the result of a severe cold
contracted several weeks ago.  He was 2 years, 2 months and 8 days
old.  His remains were taken from Birmingham to Martinsburg, Blair
county, on fast line Friday evening, where on Saturday morning at 10
o'clock they were buried alongside of those of Chester Zuck, another
bright little son of the bereaved parents, who died only a few weeks
ago.  We are sorry to note that within a few short weeks death has
taken from Mr. Elliott and his sorrow-stricken wife their two little
children, and they in their bereavement not only have the sympathy of
their own church and people, but of the entire community.
