OBITUARY
—W. S. I.-
Oma Lea Ellis, infant daugh-
ter of Mr and Mrs. Will Ellis of
Swearingen, was born February 8,
1918, and died October 25, 1918.
Little Oma Lea was a victim of
Spanish influenza and was only

We have a deep sympathy for
her loved ones who had to give
her up. May He, who makes our
burdens bearable, comfort and
console this sorrowing family,
and may He especially bless the
kind aunt, Mrs. Burrows, who
worked so faithfully and devoted-
ly with this little one.
A FRIEND.
