Dorothy Bowman Shirk, the bright little daughter of Charles S. Shirk and wife,
died at the home of her parents, corner of Walnut and Locust Streets, on the
evening of Thanksgiving day at 5:30 o'clock, aged 2 years, 8 months and 27 days.
The little one had been suffering with a severe cold for about a week, but it
was not by any means considered dangerous.  Yesterday, however, she was somewhat
worse, and the physician said she had a severe cold in the bronchial tubes.  
At 5:30 o'clock she died suddenly of spasmodic croup.  The afflicted parents
have the earnest sympathy of a wide circle of friend.

The funeral will take place Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the house.  
Rev. Dr. J. C. Keller, pastor of St. Matthew's Lutheran Church, will officiate.
Interment at Mr. Olivet Cemetery.
