Smith Girl

The little eight year old daughter of Mrs. Ellie Smith died very unexpectedly Monday at the home of L.W. Bilberry near Gilpin. Mrs. Smith and daughter were here from New Mexico on an extended visit to her uncle, Mr. Bilberry. The child had been playing around the place until a short time before her death, and it is supposed that a rupture of a blood vessel was the cause of death. The remains were brought to Spur Tuesday and interred in the Spur Cemetery. The Texas Spur extends sincere sympathy to the bereaved mother and relatives.
