Little Mary Houseal Fulenwider Dies ( of Phosphorus Poisoning From Eating Matches. Mary Housea,1 Fulenwider, the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Edward Ful- a enwider, was called home on Wednes day morning at about 11.30 o'clock, C after a sojourn upon earth of only two I years and ten days. Litle Mary Houseal's death was < peculiarly sad, being the result of a phosphorus poisoning from eating 3 matches. She was a bright child, and the joy of a happy home, and her taking away cast a pall of grief upon the entire community. The little girl had gone across the street from the Lutheran parsonage of the Church of the Redeemer, of' which her father is pastor, to the home of a neighbor, Mrs. Willie Ruff, I where she was beloved, and where she was wont to spend a great deal of her time, loving all the members of the family In this home. She was playing around in the sitting room, happy in health and in the very joy of existence. Mrs. Ruff and Miss Edith 1 Henderson, who were at home at the time, were called from the room by 1 ome household duties. When Miss C Henderson returned shortly after warGs she found that the child was!i nor in the room where she h;.d been C left. Becoming alarmed, she imin.ed iately ran across the street to Dr. Ful enwider's residence to see if Mary I ouseal had gone home. ThB child C was not at home, and Miss Henderson and Mrs. Fulenwider started back ' across the street in search of her., C While crossing the road she was seen through the window in another room, C apparentIly happy and enjoying her self, and Mrs. Fulenwider returned home. Miss Henderson went to her, and found that she was on a chair, and was eating matches which were on a, high bureau, and which she had climb ed upon the chair to reach. ' Horror-stricken, Miss Henderson immediately carried the little girl V home, and Dr. W. G. Houseal, for whom the child was named, was im mediately summoned. For nearly three hours he struggled with death, bringing to bear ail the medic.l science with which this eminent phy sician always fights ha-d and yet har ler and harder against the grim mon ster, and in addition the love which C be bore the child whose life was hang Ing in the balance, with the scales C heaily and . too heavily weighted against her. Human 'skill could ac- 0 :omplish nothing. The mission of the c ittle girl on earth had been accom- a lished, and she was taken from her arthly parents back to the Father who had sent her here. Dr. Houseal had some hopes at one :ime of saving her life. It was evi lent that she 'had eaten the heads off tout 20 matches, and had eaten parts >f the stems of several, which practi ally put her beyond human skill, but t] ith the herculean efforts which were '1 nade there was one time when the s spark of hope glimmered, though evert s faintly. But it soon faded and was il lost, and in the glory of a bright Southern winter day, at near the noon- f tide, the little soul was taken in t charge by the messenger of God and .t wafted to the realms of eternal light, a In the shadow of the deep sorrow t' through which they walk the bereav- i: ed parents have the deep and heart- t felt sympathy not only of this entirea community, but of hundreds of people t' throughout the South who know them. a Dr. Fulenwider 'has been in Newberry a as pastor of the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer for about three years, b Mary Houseal having been born not long after his arrivaa here. He came to Newberry from North Carolina, his native State. As pastor of the college church, and one of the largest church s in the United Synod of the South, and as an able and zealous minister of the gospel, he is widely known, and !rom hundreds of towns and cities in the Southland today there are cur rents of sympathy flowing. ' h Mrs. Ruff and Miss Henderson and ,5 the mem?bers of the household where d the little chikd ate the poison, loved a Mary Houseal as only' good womens can love a loveable child, and their a grief is second only to that of the par- d ents in that parent love can not be 1, equalled. No human foresight could s have prevented the tragedy, but their a grief is intensified by the fact that it happened in their home. To the bereaved parents, and to all those who mourn today, The Herald and News would extend its deepest sympathy. It is the common lot of t humanity at some time and of most S of us often to suffer. But the God b of us all doeth all things well. That c much we know. And the fiowers which Y were yesterday afternoon strewn upon I .ittle Mary Housedl's grave will, un- ~ der the divine dispensation, make r fragrant pathways in life which will ~ have their part In the great plan of the. a universe. The funeral services were at the home at 4 o'clock yesterday after- I noon, conducted by Dr. A. 'J. Bowers, e assisted by the Rev. G. P. Voight.
