Death of a Little Boy.

  William R., son of Harry and Annie R. Sipes, of 816 Green avenue, 
died on Sunday evening at 9 o'clock of typhoid fever, aged 8 years, 6 
months and 1 day.  The interment will take place this afternoon at 2 
o'clock and will be in Fairview cemetery.  The funeral services will be 
held in the Chestnut Avenue Methodist church next Sunday morning at 
10.30 o'clock.

Dear Willie, we loved him, yes we loved him,
  But angels loved him more.
And they have sweetly called him
  To yonder shining shore.

The golden gates were opened,
  A gentle voice said come;
And with farewells unspoken
  He calmly entered home.
