As a scholar she was a favorite of her teacher, always performing her duty cheerfully, never breaking a rule, and always meeting the tasks assigned her with a smile. With her schoolmates, those who knew her last loved her most. Bertie took sick Wednesday and breathed her last the following Sunday, 26 February 1893. During her short sickness her constant talk was school, school mates and teacher. We will miss her in the class, and the sweet smile she always wore. To the bereaved parents, brothers, sisters and school mates I will say Bertie is not dead Ð only sleeping. TEACHER
