MISS MARY CATHERINE NEARHOOF,

Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Nearhoof of Eighth street and the Pleasant 
Valley road, died last evening at 9 o'clock of pneumonia.  She was in the 
city on last Wednesday, apparently in good health, but on Thursday became 
ill.  She would have been 14 years old if she had lived until the 6th of this 
coming March.  Less than four months ago the family suffered the loss of 
their infant daughter, Viola Blanche, who died of dropsy.  Miss Nearhoof was 
of the most charming and Christian character.  She was a devout and regular 
attendant of the Methodist Episcopal church and for one so young in years had 
marked her influence and power by that modest service and Christian spirit 
that so largely assists a Christian organization.  She is survived by her 
father and mother, and Charles and Sanford, brothers, and Jessie, Gladys and 
Martha Bell, sisters, all at home.  Interment will be made in Oak Ridge 
cemetery Saturday morning at 10 o'clock.  Funeral services will be conducted 
at the house by the Rev. George Murray Klepfer.
