Bright and Beautiful Little Lucile G Werts Fatally Burned on Wed a nesday Morning. an Little Lucile Werts, daughter of County Auditor and Mrs. Eugene S. rE st Werts, was fatally burned at the home di ly of her parents in this city on Wednes- fc st day morning at about 11 o'clock, and th - died on Wednesday night at 8.30. Lu- b( ut cile was an exceptionally bright and beautiful child, and a general favorite ir p- among her little playmates and among C gI the old-er people who knew her. She ei 11, was about five years of age. A be Lucile and two younger children fa 8 were playing in a room in which there A A. was a fire, when their mother left the I room for a few moments. While out a kof the room thea mother heard the fc screams of the child, and immediately ei returning found her on the rear porch i in a blaze. Before the flames could be [ls put out, the child had been severely , er burned from the knees to the chin.' ur Medical assistance was immediately a secured, but the skill of phyisicians r A. and the loving ministrations of the r r( iM! family were of no avail, and the little' to spirit went back to the God who had n loaned it to brighten the home for' er such a little while. it. The children had a paper on the r- wall, which they were using as a blackbold, and in reaching it, it isa he thought Lucile stepped too near the g fire, and that her clothes caught in Le this manner. tr L. The funeral services were held at j in the home at 3.30 o'clock on Thursday' ad afternoon, conducted by the Rev. Ed c- ward Fulenwider, and were followed D ne fby interment in Rosaamont cemetery. ar In the heavy shadows through which the bereaved ones walk, they have the loving sympathy of the entire commu nity. The time of the world's greatest a happiness has for them been turned A or into a season of surpassing sorrow. fr Only time can partly heal the wound. i] fut precious memories. of baby laugh ter and of baby love will linger, and ar will bring sweet emofort. And the eye G n- of faith may pierce the gloom of the ,e. mystery, and may see that other babe, C s: born at this season, and then grown to is v manhood, for the sake of the love of t m God bearing the sorrows of the world, in "Suffer little children to come unto 'a r- me, and forbid them not: for of such is the Kingdom of God." rd MARRIED AT BLAIRS.
