On Saturday morning at 2 o'clock, Dessa, the bright little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John McKee, died at the residence of her parents, on Eighth avenue near Eleventh street, aged 4 years. Little Dessa was a victim of the "grip" during its ravages last fall, and never fully recovered from the attack. The disease developed into pleuro pneumonia, and after months of suffering, her little soul took its flight. She was a general favorite and the sympathy of a host of friends is extended to the bereaved parents. Funeral services will be held this afternoon at 3 o'clock at the residence of the parents, Eighth avenue near Eleventh street. Morning Tribune, Altoona, Pa., Monday, November 3, 1890
